SharePoint Agents AMA
Event details
How can we control who can create an agent (whether the default SharePoint Agents or custom agents?) Is this controllable by assigning a sublicense of the main copilot license? Is there a role that can be assigned for agent creator? Is this tied to the forthcoming Copilot Control System?
I'd really like to prevent multiple people creating agents for exactly the same thing in SharePoint.
Also, are there any controls over agent naming? If I cannot control who can create an agent, I would, at least, like to prevent many different people from naming their agents AskHR (as an example.)
Since Agents in SharePoint can be shared...keeping with my prior example, how do I make sure that the only "AskHR" agent that is shared is the "official" one?
(SharePoint agents haven't hit my tenant yet that I can see, so forgive what might be basic questions.)
Any Copilot-licensed user will be able to create SharePoint agents. SharePoint agents are just files (JSON files), so it's like creating a Word doc or PowerPoint.

So if a user comes to my SharePoint site with only 'view' permissions, and they have a Copilot license, will they be able to create a SharePoint Agent (which is then only available for them)? Or is it a requirement that only those with 'full access' permissions to that SharePoint site can create an Agent for that site?

THanks for the follow up. They will need to be members of the SharePoint site to be able to create a SharePoint agent.
