Hi @Krishna Mohan Inturi

The "Approval is pending. Users will not have access to this preview feature until your request is approved by Microsoft" message is expected behavior and is not caused by any limitations or lack of feature options in your Visual Studio Subscription.

Here is a breakdown of what is happening and what you need to know:

1. Cause of the "Approval is Pending" Status

The pending status refers specifically to the Agents (preview) capability within Azure Copilot, which is a gated preview feature.

Enabling "Request access to Agents (preview)" submits an onboarding request to Microsoft at the tenant level. Until Microsoft approves the request for your tenant, access to agents remains restricted.

2. Impact on Your Visual Studio Subscription

Your Visual Studio Subscription type does not restrict or prevent you from getting approved.

There are no additional settings or missing options you need to configure on your Visual Studio Subscription to enable this. It simply requires waiting for Microsoft to process and approve the tenant request.

3. What You Can Use In the Meantime

While waiting for agent approval, standard Azure Copilot functions remain available for your tenant (provided access is enabled under Access Management and not restricted by custom RBAC roles).

Only the specialized Agents (preview) tools (such as specific Migration agents) are held until approval is complete.
