Restricted Sharing Capabilities
If the sharing permissions are not properly configured, users may be unable to share their agents with the intended audience, leading to frustration and reduced collaboration.

explanation for non-techies**
Imagine your office has a library where everyone can borrow books. Initially, anyone could take any book and share it with the entire office. However, sometimes, not every book should be shared with everyone. To manage this, the office decides to introduce a librarian who can control who gets to share which books with the whole office.
In this analogy, the library is like Microsoft Copilot Studio Lite, where "books" are the tools or agents created within the platform. The new feature in Microsoft 365 Admin Center acts like the librarian. It allows administrators to decide who can share these "books" (or agents) with everyone in the organization.
Admins can choose to let all employees share these agents, restrict sharing to no one, or allow only specific people or groups to share them. If someone tries to share an agent without the proper permissions, the system will gently remind them with a message, much like a librarian would, and prevent them from sharing until they have the necessary approval.
This change is designed to ensure that only the right people have the ability to share these tools broadly, maintaining control over what is shared across the organization. It's a way to keep things organized and ensure that sharing is done responsibly, just like managing a library's collection.
