Not able to publish official brand kits

I went through the whole process of creating a security group, creating a policy for brand managers and I think I did it right because now I see a button to publish the brand kit. The thing is that it's been almost a week that the button is greyed out with the message "we're setting this up for you".
What could be the issue?

    One issue I had, setting up a Brand Kit as an admin account - I had assigned my user a Copilot license and added it to the security groups. After a month of having a support ticket open, the answer came back - the user account needs OneDrive / SharePoint as well. I added a M365 Business Basic license and it fixed the problem.

    Would it possible to share a screenshot of the full page with the button?

    The most likely issue is that the Enterprise Brand Manager policy isn’t fully configured in the required way, even though the publish button is visible.

    Check these items in config.office.com:

    1. Open Customization > Policy Management.
    2. Select the policy used for Brand Manager.
    3. Verify the Elevated role for Brand Managers policy is Enabled.
    4. Verify the Security group email address is the correct mail-enabled security group for the brand managers.
    5. Verify the policy scope is Tenant / Apply to all users.
    6. Verify the policy priority is set to 0.

    The documented required configuration is:

    • policy scope set to Tenant
    • policy priority set to 0
    • correct brand managers mail-enabled security group configured

    Also verify the group membership:

    • Only members of the mail-enabled security group get publish and edit access to official kits.
    • Owners only of the group do not get official kit editing and publishing access.

    One more timing check:

    • After designation as a brand manager, permissions can take up to 24 hours to apply.
    • Since this has been almost a week, that points more strongly to a configuration issue rather than normal propagation delay.

    If the button is present but stays disabled with “we’re setting this up for you”, the first things to recheck are:

    1. the group is mail-enabled,
    2. the account is a member of that group, not just an owner,
    3. the Brand Manager policy is Enabled,
    4. the policy scope is Tenant / Apply to all users,
    5. the policy priority is 0.

    Once those are correct, designated brand managers should see the publish option become available for organization-wide sharing of official brand kits.
