Message Details

Updated January 31, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

The AI and Copilot Resources Provider that powers the out-of-box (OOB) Microsoft Copilot Academy will be visible by default to users who have Copilot licenses. Admins will be able to enable, disable, and apply permissions to the content of this provider.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 412064.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-February 2025 (previously mid-January) and expect to complete by late February 2025 (previously late January). 

How this will affect your organization:

If a tenant has at least one Copilot license, Knowledge admins or Knowledge managers will be able to view AI and Copilot Resources Provider by default under Admin > Manage providers tab. They can delete and reconfigure as needed.

They can also apply permissions to the content of this provider through Admin >Manage permissions > Provider tab. 

  • By default, providers content is visible to Copilot licensed users.
  • On applying permissions, the content becomes visible to the selected group.
  • On removing permissions, the content returns to the default behavior.
