Cannot Publish My Agent

Hello  MSOPS1​ ​ ,

It sounds like you are encountering a few common hurdles related to environment roles and agent types. Based on your description, here are the three steps to resolve this:

Upgrade from "Declarative" to "Custom" Agents The reason you are missing the Knowledge and Tools tabs is likely because you are building a Declarative Agent directly within the Microsoft 365 Chat interface. To access full functionality, you should use the Microsoft Copilt Studio.

Enable the "Copilot Studio Authors" Role The "user license" error when publishing is often a permissions issue rather than a missing license. Recent updates require that your Admin assigns you to a specific Security Group linked to the Copilot Studio Authors role within the Tenant Settings of the Power Platform Admin Center. You can find the step-by-step for this in of the https://microsoft.github.io/agent-academy/recruit/00-course-setup/ Agent Academy.

Making the Agent Visible in Teams Publishing the agent in the Studio only pushes the logic live; it doesn’t automatically deploy it to the company-wide Teams store. To make it appear for everyone:

Go to Availability options in the Teams channel settings.

Select "Show to everyone in my org" and click Submit for admin approval.

Your Teams Admin must then approve/publish the app in the . Detailed instructions are available here: .https://microsoft.github.io/agent-academy/recruit/11-publish-your-agent/

Recommendation: I highly suggest following the  https://microsoft.github.io/agent-academy/ path. It covers these exact administrative requirements and helps ensure your environment is configured correctly for "Special Ops" level development.

If you have any further doubts or need specific steps for your admin, please let me know.
