As an administrator, you can disable anonymous access. This setting prohibits unauthenticated users from accessing Dataverse data displayed on websites in your tenant, preventing accidental exposure of sensitive data.
Important
- This is a preview feature.
- Preview features aren’t meant for production use and may have restricted functionality. These features are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.
Admin experience
You can disable and enable anonymous access to your websites using the Power Platform admin center.
Go to the Power Platform admin center.
From the left-hand menu, navigate to Resources and choose Power Pages Sites.
Select Governance Controls from the top ribbon menu.
Choose Disable anonymous access from the list.
A slide-out panel appears. You can configure anonymous access for the following options:
Option Description None of the sites Selecting None of the sites disables anonymous access in none of the sites, meaning anonymous access is allowed to view data when corresponding table permissions are configured for anonymous users. This configuration is the default behavior. Specific sites Selecting Specific sites allows you to block anonymous access in specific sites that you choose in the tenant. Select the option overrides any maker configurations and prevents end users from accessing Dataverse data anonymously even if corresponding table permissions are configured for anonymous users. All sites except specific sites Selecting All sites except specific sites blocks anonymous access in all the websites in the tenant EXCEPT the sites that you choose. This selection also overrides any maker configurations and prevents end users from accessing Dataverse data anonymously even if corresponding table permissions are configured for anonymous users. All sites Selecting All sites blocks anonymous access in all the websites in the tenant, overriding any maker configurations that provide access to anonymous users. Select the sites and choose OK.
Select Save. A message confirming success appears in green below the Governance Controls ribbon menu.
Note
- While unauthenticated users will be prevented from viewing Dataverse data when this setting is enabled, these users can still write data to Dataverse. This is helpful in use cases where users wish to submit anonymous feedback.
Maker experience
Once an admin completes the steps in the previous section, anonymous users are disabled for new table permissions.
For existing sites where anonymous access is given, a banner error message is displayed indicating a Data protection policy update has been applied.
