"To use the Copilot features, employees sign in to Microsoft 365 (M365) with both their work and personal accounts using multiple account access. When they open an Office file, they can then use Copilot features such as summarization or text drafting in Office as usual. There are limits, however. More advanced functions - such as the abilty to access an organization's Microsoft Graph data, or ask questions about other files in the M365 tenant - requires a full M365 Copilot license."
"The personal Copilot can only access files and data for which the employee already has permission to use, Microsoft said, and all Copilot actions are auditable by IT. Admins can also disable personal Copilot access for some or all users, should they choose to do so. (It's enabled by default.) According to Microsoft's own survey data, 82% of employees already use unsanctioned AI tools at work."
Microsoft now allows users with Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, and Premium plans to use Copilot features in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint while signed into both work and personal accounts. Basic Copilot capabilities like summarization and text drafting are available via multiple account access. Advanced capabilities that reach organizational Microsoft Graph data or query other tenant files require a full M365 Copilot license. Personal Copilot only accesses files the employee is permitted to use, all Copilot actions are auditable by IT, and administrators can disable personal Copilot access. Microsoft reports widespread unsanctioned AI use by employees.
