Event details
- Please clarify, about Agent 365 licenses, there are lot of confusions in this space (e.g who needs license, what will be covered - 1st party, studio agents, dependency with security suite - E5, Defender cloud apps etc)
- Please help us to understand, how to setup Agent 365 in the organization start to end (e.g. different admin configurations in Purview, Entra, Defender, etc), also, would be cool, to have this documented in learn.microsoft link
- Is looks like Agent 365, another product with a new license build on existing product & configurations which exist already? (e.g. DSPM, Defender, Entra CAS, etc), if so, why another license model?
- What happens after 1st of May, for the orgs that did not purchase Agent 365, what will be affected? (like Agent Inventory in MAC, Template, DSPM AI, etc) will disappear?
You can find additional details on getting started with Agent 365 here Agent Overview Page in Microsoft 365 Admin Center - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn
Agent 365 provides IT and security with a control for agents used by users across their organization.
Agent 365 licenses are required only for users of agents that employ premium features of Agent 365. This covers all agents that work on behalf of the user (and leverage the user's identity).
The admin doesn't need a license unless they are also using agents as described above. Users who create agents also don't need an Agent 365 license, unless they are using agents as described above.
To make it easier to manage and plan, we recommend licensing groups of users who are actively using agents.
