Event details
On May 1st GA the story is “per-user licensing for all OBO agents,” but Microsoft identity model also supports autonomous app and agent-user patterns. What is the exact trigger that makes an agent stop being “on behalf of a licensed user” and start being a separately governed or separately licensable autonomous agent?
If an agent starts from a user prompt but then continues running, uses its own Entra Agent ID, or takes actions later without the user actively in the loop, is it still covered by that user’s Agent 365/E7 license?

Hi Jukka,
The distinction between OBO and autonomous from Entra Agent ID is based on identity, authorization context, and how actions are executed. Both are covered by E7.

Autonomous agents aren't tied to a user's ID.
Agent capabilities for non-OBO agents remain in Preview.
