New dedicated License Requests page in Microsoft 365 Admin Center

We are introducing a new dedicated License Requests page in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center to help admins more easily discover, review, and manage Microsoft 365 Copilot license requests submitted by users.

Roadmap ID:561206

Details:

What changed: The Microsoft 365 Admin Center now includes a dedicated License Requests page for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Previously, admins had to locate license requests through multiple menus or notifications. This new page centralizes all Copilot license requests, improving visibility and management efficiency. The page supports sorting, filtering, and bulk actions on license requests, enhancing administrative control and security oversight.

Why: Admins need a streamlined way to handle Copilot license requests to reduce delays and errors in license allocation. This change enables admins to:

• Quickly identify pending license requests
• Approve or deny requests efficiently
• Maintain better control over license distribution and compliance

Try this:

• Open the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and select 'License Requests' from the navigation menu.
• Review pending Microsoft 365 Copilot license requests and use filters to sort by user or date.
• Approve or deny requests directly from the License Requests page.

Why this matters: Centralizing license requests reduces administrative overhead and speeds up user access to Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses.

Business impact: IT teams can manage Copilot license requests more efficiently, improving license compliance and reducing support tickets.

Personal impact: Admins save time reviewing and processing license requests, enabling faster user onboarding to Copilot.
