Business value

Before this release wave, only customer admins that have the global admin role in their Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) could access the Business Central admin center. With the capabilities of the admin center growing from release to release, more and more customers require access to these capabilities, yet sharing the global admin role with these users is not always a secure option. With this release, the Dynamics 365 Admin Azure AD role will give customer admins access to work with the admin center features.

Feature details

The customers' users with the Dynamics 365 admin role assigned to them by their administrator in the Microsoft 365 admin center (https://admin.microsoft.com) or in the Azure AD admin center (https://aad.portal.azure.com) can access the Business Central admin center and its features, both via the portal UI and the Business Central admin center API.
