Microsoft has introduced a new feature in the Microsoft 365 admin center that allows administrators to control who can create organization-wide sharing links for agents built in the Copilot Studio Agent Builder. This feature enhances governance and provides flexibility in how these agents are shared within an organization.

Think of this feature like managing keys to a building. In a large office, not everyone needs a master key that opens every door. Instead, certain trusted individuals are given these keys to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to all areas. Similarly, with this new admin control, only designated people can create sharing links that allow others to use the agents organization-wide. This ensures that the sharing of these digital tools is managed carefully and securely.

By controlling who can distribute these sharing links, organizations can maintain better oversight of how their digital resources are used and shared. This is particularly important in maintaining security and ensuring that only the right people have access to certain functionalities. Just as you wouldn't want every employee to have access to sensitive areas of a building, you wouldn't want unrestricted sharing of digital tools that could affect the entire organization.

This feature is part of Microsoft's ongoing efforts to provide more robust administrative controls, allowing organizations to tailor their digital environments to their specific needs and security requirements.
