Payables Agent: Permissions Issue

(5) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,108
We have a site attempting to implement the payables agent and when attempting to process an invoice they receive the following:
 
"Access Denied.  You do not have the necessary permissions to open the company "XXXXXXX" "
 
Please note:
 
*  The account assigned to the Payables Agent has the Agent permission sets and is also a super user
 
*  The user attempting to reprocess the invoices also has the Agent permission sets and is also a payables user and a super user.
 
*  There are no company restrictions on either account under user setup
 
*  The agent still displays in preview status.  This is US BC 27.1.
 
The mailbox assigned to the Payables Agent (in M365) supposedly has full administrative permissions.  We are in the process of confirming if the user attempting to reprocess the invoices also has full administrative permissions to the same mailbox.
 
Any other thoughts as to what may be causing the issue?

    Hello,
     
    This is not a BC permission 
     
    Payables Agent runs under its own identity
     
    If the agent is still in Preview, BC will block company access
     
    SUPER permissions do not override agent/company binding
     
    Mailbox permissions usually not the cause
     
     
    Check / Fix
     
    Finish agent setup (exit Preview)
     
    Ensure agent is explicitly assigned to the company
     
    Restart agent processing
     
    Confirm same BC environment
     
     
    Until the agent is fully activated and company-bound, this error is expected.

    Does this environment include available Copilot Credits? Or is Pay-as-go configured? The Agent feature is not free; please confirm you have the necessary permissions.
    PS:
    Dynamics 365 Business Central: Regarding the cost of the Copilot/Agent features (Manage consumption-based billing for agent capabilities)

    Thanks.
