Copilot Migration agent access

Hi Krishna Mohan Inturi ,

Thank you for sharing the screenshots.

Based on the information provided, the behavior you are seeing is expected for the Agents (Preview) feature. The message**"Approval is pending. Users will not have access to this preview feature until your request is approved by Microsoft"** indicates that the access request for the preview has been submitted successfully and is currently awaiting Microsoft's approval.

This approval process is separate from your Visual Studio Subscription and is not an indication that your subscription is missing any required features or benefits. The Migration Agent is part of the Azure Copilot Agents (Preview) experience, which requires tenant-level approval before it becomes available.

From your screenshots, it appears that:

• Request access to Agents (Preview) has already been enabled.
• The tenant is currently in Pending Approval status.
• Access to the Migration Agent (Preview) will remain unavailable until the approval request is processed.

In the meantime, you can continue using other Azure services and standard Azure Copilot capabilities that are available to your tenant. Once the preview request is approved, the Migration Agent feature should become accessible without requiring any additional changes to your Visual Studio subscription.

If the status remains unchanged for an extended period, please let us know and share the Tenant ID (privately through a support request) so we can help verify whether there are any issues with the onboarding process.

Hope this helps clarify the behavior.

Hi @Krishna Mohan Inturi

The "Approval is pending. Users will not have access to this preview feature until your request is approved by Microsoft" message is expected behavior and is not caused by any limitations or lack of feature options in your Visual Studio Subscription.

Here is a breakdown of what is happening and what you need to know:

1. Cause of the "Approval is Pending" Status

The pending status refers specifically to the Agents (preview) capability within Azure Copilot, which is a gated preview feature.

Enabling "Request access to Agents (preview)" submits an onboarding request to Microsoft at the tenant level. Until Microsoft approves the request for your tenant, access to agents remains restricted.

2. Impact on Your Visual Studio Subscription

Your Visual Studio Subscription type does not restrict or prevent you from getting approved.

There are no additional settings or missing options you need to configure on your Visual Studio Subscription to enable this. It simply requires waiting for Microsoft to process and approve the tenant request.

3. What You Can Use In the Meantime

While waiting for agent approval, standard Azure Copilot functions remain available for your tenant (provided access is enabled under Access Management and not restricted by custom RBAC roles).

Only the specialized Agents (preview) tools (such as specific Migration agents) are held until approval is complete.
