The days of storing Client ID and secret of your Key Vault in Dynamics are coming to an end. With Power Platform Managed Identity, Dataverse plug-ins can now connect to Azure resources that support managed identity without the need for credentials. Please note that at the time of writing this article, this feature is still in preview and is not intended for production use.
Dataverse Managed Environments Deep Dive:
Managed environments is a set of features that allows administrators to manage Power Platform at scale with more control, less effort, and more visibility.
List of features available with Managed Environments for now (18/09/24) :
A common challenge for developers is the management of secrets, credentials, certificates, and keys used to secure communication between services
One common practice while designing and architecturing authentication for Apps in the Azure Universe is the use of a App Registration as a controlled way to securely access resources in the the Azure universe and it's been for the last years a common pattern in my designs, perhaps yours also!
Have you deleted some Dataverse records accidentally and you're struggling how to managed it ?
The new Recycle Bin feature in preview might be what it solves your problem.
It allows Administrator only (in the preview version) to recover user deleted records up to 30 days!
First we need to ensure that the feature is activated doing it this way_
Dataverse Elastic Tables Deep Dive Tutorial
Said to be the "Super Heros" of the information world, that they're super fast and can store lots of information and that they're a game changer for storing massive loads of data.
I went to undercover what's behind the scenes of this Elastic Tables feature and check if the rumours are fake or not!
When a user is deleted from the Microsoft 365 admin center, the user isn't removed from Dataverse environments in which it is active. Instead, the user's status is set to Disabled in the Power Platform. And you do have the possibility to delete it.
As a consequence many disabled users can pile up in the Power Platform.
With the feature 'Delete Disabled Users' Microsoft has introduced the possibility to permanently delete disabled users from the Power Platform.
Dynamics 365 : Dataverse Preferred solution
By default, unless already in the context of an unmanaged solution, all changes performed in your Power Apps environment (creating a table or column, updating a form, ...) are stored in the solution named Common Data Services Default Solution.
With the preferred solution you can specify a solution to which all your changes, that are made outside of the context of the unmanaged solution, should be automatically added.
