Business value

You'll strengthen security and simplify user management by centralizing authorization in Dataverse. This means fewer redundant checks in Power Pages, reducing complexity and improving performance. Businesses gain consistent access control, enhanced auditing for compliance, and faster data operations, all without additional configuration or migration. The result is lower operational overhead, improved governance, and better scalability.

Feature details

This feature merges Power Pages web roles and site users with Dataverse security roles and system users, creating a unified authorization model.

  • User Mapping:

    • Each Power Pages user is stored in both the System User table and the Contact table.
    • The System Managed User Type column in the User table identifies Power Pages users as C2 User.
  • Role Mapping: Each Power Pages web role is represented in both the Security Role table and the Web Role table.

  • No Migration Required: Existing contact and web role records automatically sync with system user and security role tables.

  • Configuration: No changes required for makers; existing data security configurations remain intact.
