    Is it possible to enable Agents but disable Agent creation to all users (enable scoped users)?? The goal is to mitigate Agent sprawl. Thank You

      Thanks for your question! Agent creation and agent usage are currently coupled under a single tenant‑level control. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, under Agents > Settings > User Access, AI admins or Global admins can scope who can use agents, but there is no supported way to allow users to run agents while separately blocking them from creating agents under the same control.

      What you can do to mitigate sprawl today:

      Scope agent enablement to specific users or groups

      Restrict org‑wide sharing

      Govern agent lifecycle centrally via the Agent 365 registry

        By any chance is this in development? I believe many org's would like to control (scoped users) to create agents by providing with proper basic training and understanding of Agents.
