Are you using Space Aware policies?

If not, this is expected.

Thanks @leandrojmp for your quick response. If I migrate, will it impact existing Agent policies ? If I don't migrate, I am getting error in creating private locations as the space\_id is null. Is there a work around in this case ?

I don't think so, but I do not use space aware agent policies, so I do not know how they work.

I think this is unrelated, what you are trying to do and what is the error? I would expect this to work without having space aware agent policies.

I would suggest that you open another topic related to your issue with private locations.
