Hi, Garth_Ries currently there's no built-in way to restrict agent creation while allowing usage in Copilot Studio. Microsoft is working on more granular role-based access controls. For now, you can manage access via environment permissions or custom security roles in Power Platform. Keep an eye on roadmap updates for native support.

Hi, this information is not accurate. There is a built-in way to restrict agent creation while still allowing usage in Copilot Studio. Please refer to the latest documentation for details

So far we have been unsuccessful in preventing agent creation while enabling use. We have setup a test tenant and followed the prescribed steps without any luck. We are following up with Microsoft. Very frustrating.

  Which method did you use—through the license settings or the Power Platform Admin Center? Do those users you have tested with have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license assigned?

    Setup a test tenant without M365 licenses or PAYG. Microsoft person confirmed that "that isn't possible" and referred us to https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/d72808b3-280b-f011-a4dd-7c1e52ead3c1. "That level of granularity is not available." This seems to confirm what Lalit Mohan was saying.
