AB-900 - Perform basic administrative tasks for Copilot and agents (30% of the exam) - Section 3.3

Perform basic administrative tasks for agents, including access, approval and lifecycle.

Configuring user access to agents, creating an agent, the approval process for agents, and monitoring agents (usage, operational insights and lifecycle) across the Microsoft 365 admin center and the Microsoft Power Platform admin center. The two-admin-centre split is a reliable source of single-best distractors.

Practice question for this objective

Free samplePerform basic administrative tasks for Copilot and agentsmedium

A department head asks you to report how often their team's published agent is actually being used, including how many sessions it handled last month and whether usage is trending up. Where do you go to obtain these operational usage insights for the agent?

AThe Microsoft Entra sign-in logs, filtered to the individual users who launched the agent during the month
BThe Microsoft Purview audit log, searched for the agent's data access events across the tenant
CThe Microsoft 365 Copilot billing report, which lists how many licences the department consumed
DThe agent analytics and usage insights available through the Microsoft Power Platform admin center Correct

Agent usage and adoption insights, such as session counts and trends, are found in the Microsoft Power Platform admin center analytics. The Power Platform admin center provides operational analytics for agents, including session volume, active users, and usage trends, which is the correct source for adoption reporting rather than identity logs, audit logs, or billing data.

Why A is wrong: Tempting because sign-in logs show authentication activity, but they record identity events, not agent session counts or usage trends, so they cannot answer how often the agent was used.

Why B is wrong: Tempting because Purview audits Copilot activity for compliance, but its purpose is investigation of data and access events, not the operational usage and adoption metrics the department head wants.

Why C is wrong: Tempting because licence reporting is nearby, but a billing report counts licence assignment and cost, not how many sessions the agent handled or whether its usage is trending up.

Why D is correct: Correct: operational insights such as session counts, active users, and usage trends for agents are surfaced through the analytics available in the Power Platform admin center, which is where agents are administered.

Exam traps in Perform basic administrative tasks for Copilot and agents

Answers that look right on this material and are not. Each one is a distractor from a different question in the AB-900 bank for this domain.

A conditional access policy in Microsoft Entra ID that requires approval at each agent sign-in
Why it is wrong: Conditional access governs authentication conditions such as device or location and can prompt for actions at sign-in. It does not review or authorise a newly built agent before makers share it.
The Microsoft Purview portal, by adding the user to a data classification role group
Why it is wrong: Tempting because Purview governs data used by Copilot, but the Purview portal manages compliance and data protection, not licence assignment, so it cannot grant a user a Copilot licence.
The Microsoft Purview portal, where Copilot licences are attached to compliance retention scopes.
Why it is wrong: Purview governs data compliance controls, not licence assignment, so it offers no way to reclaim or reassign a Copilot seat.
