  • Create an AI connection for Copilot Studio in AI Control Tower using the  AI Service Graph Connector for Microsoft (version 3.0.0).

    Copilot Studio prerequisites

    Complete the following steps in your Power Platform environment before creating a Copilot connection.

    Register an Application in Microsoft Entra ID

    Register an application to obtain OAuth credentials for the connector.

    To register the application:
    Grant application access to your Copilot environment

    Configure the application as a user in your Copilot environment.

    To configure application access:

    1. Open the Power Platform admin Center.
    2. Navigate to Environments and select your Copilot environment.
    3. Go to Settings > Users + Permissions > Application users.
    4. Select New App User and add your application using the Client ID from step 1.
    5. Assign the following security roles to the application user:
      • Basic User
      • System administrator

    If you don't want to create a System administrator role, you can create a Copilot Studio dataverse custom role. For custom role creation, see Create a Copilot Studio Dataverse custom role.

    Note:
    You can obtain the Environment ID from Settings > Session details > Environment ID in your environment.
    Multi-Environment Support
    You can discover agents from multiple Copilot environments using a single connection. To configure multi-environment discovery:
    • Enter multiple environment IDs as comma-separated values in the Environment ID field (examples: env-id-1, env-id-2, env-id-3).
    • The same OAuth credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) are used for all environments.
    • Verify that the application user is configured in each environment with the required security roles.
    • Each environment will be tested and discovered separately during the import process.
