Hello Everyone,
Today I am going to share my thoughts on how to reassign an copilot agent’s owner with the Power Platform API.
Let’s get started.
Here are the simple steps to reassign a Copilot Agent Owner using the Power Platform API.
This uses Microsoft Copilot Studio agents stored in Microsoft Dataverse.
Shorter version:
Get API token
Get botid
Get systemuserid of new owner
Send PATCH request to update ownerid
Step 1: Get the Environment URL
Find your Power Platform Environment URL.
Example:
https://yourenvironment.crm.dynamics.com
Step 2: Get an Access Token
Authenticate using Microsoft Entra ID.
You must obtain a Bearer token to call the Power Platform API.
Scope:
https://yourenvironment.crm.dynamics.com/default
Step 3: Get the Copilot Agent ID
Call the API to list agents.
Get https://yourenvironment.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/bots
Response example:
JSON
{
“botid”: “11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555”,
“name”: “CustomerSupportCopilot”
}
Copy the botid.
Step 4: Get the New Owner User ID
Retrieve the user you want to assign.
GET https://yourenvironment.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/systemusers
Find the systemuserid of the new owner.
Step 5: Reassign the Copilot Agent
Send a PATCH request to update the owner.
PATCH https://yourenvironment.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/bots(BOT_ID)
Body:
JSON
{
“ownerid@odata.bind”: “/systemusers(NEW_USER_ID)”
}
Example:
JSON
{
“ownerid@odata.bind”: “/systemusers(99999999-8888-7777-6666-555555555555)”
}
Result:
The Copilot agent is now owned by the new user.
That’s it for today.
Until next blog post
Happy Copiloting
