Add multiple SharePoint agents in a single Teams conversation

🚨 The Signal: Multiple SharePoint Copilot agents can now be added to a single Teams conversation. This increases the potential for data exposure and complex permission interactions within collaborative spaces, requiring enhanced data governance.

The Impact

All users are affected, increasing the risk of unintended data exposure and complex access control challenges within Teams.

  • End users: Increased risk of oversharing sensitive data via multiple agents.
  • Security teams: Greater complexity in monitoring data flows and agent interactions.
  • Admins: More intricate permission management for agent access to SharePoint content.
  • Compliance officers: Challenges in demonstrating adherence to data handling policies.

The Action

  1. Review and refine Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies for Teams and SharePoint.
  2. Implement sensitivity labels for SharePoint content accessed by Copilot agents.
  3. Audit existing SharePoint site permissions and sharing settings for least privilege.
  4. Educate users on responsible interaction with multiple AI agents and data sharing.
  5. Monitor Copilot agent activity logs for unusual data access patterns.
