Additional Information
Admins can choose to set up their entire tenant, agent groups or individual agents to use Agent Workspace. They can also allow their tenant, agent groups or their agents to switch between Agent Workspace and Agent Console themselves or they can dictate which agent interface their agents use.
The default setting for the tenants, agent groups and agents will be to continue to only have access to Agent Console (the existing agent interface). An admin will have to change the setting for the tenant, agent groups or agents to allow agents to use Agent Workspace. The settings do not need to match but settings at the agent level override settings at the agent group level which override settings at the tenant level.
If you have never manually set Agent Experience for agent groups or agents when you set it for the tenant it will set it for the agent groups and agents. Similarly if you haven't manually set any agents agent group will set it for all agents in the group. However once you have manually set an agent group or an agent that setting will stay until you manually change it.
