This post covers my attempts to recover access in vain.

However, this did not restore access to Microsoft Teams despite waiting multiple hours after I added the above licenses.

When you create an Agent within Copilot Studio, a corresponding App registration is automatically generated. These app registrations are named after the Agent, suffixed with “(Microsoft Copilot Studio)”. You can view these app registrations in the Azure Portal under App registrations > All applications. Agent Certificates and Federated Identity Each app registration associated with a Copilot Studio Agent includes three certificates and two federated credentials as of January 2025. These components enable secure communication between agents and your data sources and services.
