Contacts Are Users Too - Now with Dataverse Privileges

About this episode

The episode discusses the significant updates to Power Pages and its integration with Dataverse roles.

It's one of the biggest Power Pages updates we've seen in years, and we're excited about what it means for the future. We talk about the newest Power Platform release and its biggest change — bringing Power Pages security together with Dataverse roles. We explain how web roles and contact records now work with system users, making Power Pages security act more like Dataverse. We share what we learned from testing the private preview, including how permissions, ownership, and auditing work now, and what the new "C2" users are. We also wonder what this means for performance, licensing, and people building their own portals.
