Copilot tenant settings

Fabric Copilot settings are controlled by the Copilot and Azure OpenAI Service tenant settings group.​ There are multiple settings governing user access and data processing policies, and some of them are enabled by default whereas others require the Fabric administrator to enable them.

Users can use Copilot and other features powered by Azure OpenAI

Not enabled by default

Capacities can be designated as Fabric Copilot capacities

Copilot capacities enable users' usage and billing to be consolidated under a single capacity. Fabric administrators can assign specific groups or the entire organization to manage capacities as Fabric Copilot capacities. Capacity administrators must designate user access to each Copilot capacity and can view item names linked to users' Copilot activity in the Fabric capacity metrics app.
