Agent management roles and permissions in Microsoft 365 admin center

The following table provides agent management capabilities in the Microsoft 365 admin center:

The AI Administrator and Global Administrator roles have tenant‑wide visibility and governance authority, where-as by contrast, product-specific admin roles allow governance only within the boundaries of their products (such as Power Platform Administrator and Fabric Administrator).

Important

Use and assign roles with the fewest permissions to accomplish tasks. Accounts with lower permission roles help improve security for your organization. Global Administrator is a highly privileged role. Limit its use to emergency scenarios when you can't use an existing role.
