 To use pay-as-you-go billing, you need to first set up SharePoint agents  as a resource in Azure. That resource is used whenever a user without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license uses a SharePoint agent.

 Admins can choose to edit the service plans under the Copilot license to specifically allow or block users from using Copilot experiences on SharePoint. Under the [license details page for Microsoft 365 Copilot](https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home?#/licensedetailpage/639dec6b-bb19-468b-871c-c5c441c4b0cb) on the Microsoft 365 admin center, admins can turn *'Microsoft 365 Copilot for SharePoint'* on or off on a per-user basis. For example, a user could be allowed to use Microsoft 365 Copilot on Teams but not use any agents on SharePoint alone. This will also disable Copilots on OneDrive and the SharePoint page authoring Copilot for that user.
