Sharing Copilot Studio Agent with a M365 Teams Group

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 34
Hello, 
 
 
i can't use some Teams for Sharing Copilot Studio Agents: 
 
I do find several Teams for sharing. But not all Teams are found here.. 
 
Do you have any Idea why some Teams Groups are not showing up and some does? How you share Agents to a group of people? 
 
Thank you

    When sharing a Copilot Studio agent to Teams groups, not all Teams show up because the picker only shows Teams that you are a member of. Teams you're not a member of won't appear even if they exist in your tenant.
     
    Additionally, there are some known limitations:

    - Private channels don't appear in the picker
    - Very large organizations may experience search limitations in the Teams picker
    - Shared channels are not supported
     
    To share with a group of people who are in a Team you can't find:

    1. Join the Team first, then come back and share

    2. Alternatively, use the direct install link approach: in Copilot Studio > Channels > Microsoft Teams > get the app installation link and send it directly to users or post it in the Teams channel. Users can install the agent themselves without you needing to share it through the Teams picker.

    3. For broader org-wide rollout, ask your Teams admin to deploy the app centrally via Teams Admin Center > Apps > Manage apps > deploy to specific teams or groups
     
    The Teams Admin Center deployment approach is the recommended method for sharing agents at scale without dependency on the Copilot Studio sharing picker.

    If some Teams are not appearing in the Copilot Studio sharing dialog, it is usually because:
    • The Team is a private/shared channel.
    • The Team is not a supported Microsoft 365 Group type.
    • The group hasn't synchronized yet.
    • Tenant policies are restricting visibility.

    Hi @DA-04070757-0,

    Owner Team Auto-Creation: Copilot Studio creates an Owner team in the hosting environment automatically for each agent. Sharing outside this team or environment is restricted.

     

     
     

    I am sure some clues I tried to give. If these clues help to resolve the issue brought you by here, please don't forget to check the box Does this answer your question? At the same time, I am pretty sure you have liked the response!

    Thank you for your answers.  @Valantis @11manish
     
     
     
    I do see some Teams Groups where I'm not member of and also Teams where I'm member of and includes private channels. 
    I added my admin account as a member/owner of the teams group but still not able to see the group in the Copilot Studio Sharing.

    Adding yourself as member/owner doesn't guarantee the group appears in the picker.
    The Copilot Studio sharing picker uses Microsoft Graph to search groups, and groups that have HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled = true or HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled = true are excluded from Graph directory searches regardless of your membership.
     
    Ask your Entra ID admin to check those two properties on the missing group:
    Get-UnifiedGroup -Identity "GroupName" | Select HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled, HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled
    If either is true, that's why it doesn't appear. The admin can set them to false to make it discoverable.
     
    If you can't change those settings or don't want to, bypass the picker entirely:
    Teams Admin Center > Apps > Manage apps > find your agent > select it > Add to teams > search and select the team directly. This method works regardless of group visibility settings and is the recommended approach for org-wide deployments.

    @Valantis so, do I understand right, that I just to allow the App in the MS Teams admin Center and add the availability to the Teams Group? 
     
    I thought I also have to share the Copilot Agent with the people that the access is allowed to use this agent wether in Teams or the other channels? 
     
    So is your setting like this in Copilot Studio agent sharing:  or End user access for Everyone in Organization? 
     
     
    At the moment I configure the access rights in Copilot Studio Agent sharing and Teams App availability

    this is mentioned inside Microsoft docs: "When sharing an agent for chat, you can't share it with Microsoft 365 groups with SecurityEnabled set to false."
     
    This is the root cause. Microsoft Teams are backed by Microsoft 365 Groups which have SecurityEnabled = false by default. The Copilot Studio sharing picker only works with security-enabled groups, which is why most Teams groups don't appear.
     
    To share with Teams members:

    1. Create an Entra ID Security Group containing the users you want to give access to
    2. Share the agent in Copilot Studio with that Security Group
    3. For distribution in Teams: use Teams Admin Center to make the app available to the relevant teams
     
    For your specific setup:
    - Copilot Studio sharing = use a Security Group (not the Teams group)
    - Teams Admin Center = controls who can install and use the app in Teams
     
    Both are needed but they use different group types. The sharing picker limitation to security-enabled groups is by design, not a bug.
