Restrict SharePoint Agents - PAYG

Hi All,

We are planning to trial SharePoint Agents, but during the configuration of Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) services, it appears there’s no option to scope access to specific users or SharePoint sites.

Can access to SharePoint Agents be scoped to particular users or SharePoint sites? I don’t see this option in the PAYG setup.

Given that the PAYG configuration is under Org Settings, how can we manage multiple Azure subscriptions within a single tenant — for example, to support usage across regions like Europe, Canada, Australia, and the UK? Currently, the setup only allows selection of a single Azure subscription.

    The PAYG model makes it very difficult to make agents broadly available - especially in an education setting where different access and cost controls may be needed for students v general staff v power users.  Without the ability to limit or cap access to PAYG at a domain or cohort level most organisations will just block agents all together which is not a great outcome but will be the default position of most IT departments without adequate policy settings being available to contain PAYG costs
