The Impact

Admins must configure new default-enabled built-in Teams agents to manage potential data exposure and compliance risks for users and groups.

• Admins: Must review and configure agent availability to prevent unintended data exposure.
• Users: May have built-in agents enabled by default, potentially impacting data privacy.
• Security Teams: Need to assess agent configurations for compliance with organisational policies.

2. Navigate to the dedicated experience for managing built-in Teams agents.
3. Review the default availability settings for agents.
4. Configure agent availability for specific users and groups as per organisational policy.
