Business value

Save time and money by ensuring business continuity and enhancing security. Reassigning an agent owner with PowerShell lets you manage agents when the original owner leaves or changes roles. This capability improves governance and compliance by ensuring all agents have a responsible owner. It reduces the administrative burden on IT teams by streamlining the process of transferring responsibilities. It provides the flexibility needed to adapt to changes in team structures and responsibilities. This capability supports dynamic business environments.

Feature details

When the original owner of an agent leaves the organization or changes roles, the agent becomes orphaned. Orphaned agents disrupt business processes and create security risks because no one manages the agent's settings and compliance requirements.

With this feature, admins with the Tenant admin, Power Platform administrator, or Dynamics 365 Service Administrator roles can use PowerShell commands to assign new owners to agents.

The new owner needs a Copilot Studio license and must be a member of the environment where the agent is.

When an admin changes the owner of an agent, the new owner:

  1. Gets access to all the agent's components with standard owner permissions, including delete permissions.
  2. Gets the Environment Maker security role for the environment where the agent exists.

The previous owner loses access to the agent. The change doesn't affect other co-owners.
