Business Applications in Work IQ is a capability that administrators use to choose which environments and applications participate in Work IQ. It controls which environments have Work IQ features, which environments Work IQ can reason over and return data from, and which applications makers include within those environments.
Important
- This is a preview feature.
- Preview offerings are provided as-is and may be modified or discontinued at any time. For consumption-based services, usage of underlying application services may continue to incur license fees during the preview period.
- Preview features are subject to supplemental terms of use, and are available before an official release so that customers can get early access and provide feedback.
Before you begin
To manage participation in Business Applications in Work IQ, you need the appropriate roles assigned:
- Power Platform Administrator role to manage settings and assign other roles.
- Environment Maker or System Customizer role to configure application-level participation.
Understand participation controls
Participation in Business Applications in Work IQ involves three decisions:
- Environment features: Which environments have semantic models, search indexing, business skills, and Business Applications paths in the Work IQ MCP.
- Environment data participation: Which environments Work IQ is allowed to reason over and return data from.
- Application participation: Which apps within an environment should make their data available to Work IQ and which should not.
Note
These participation settings don't prevent agentic access to environment data. Use App Access controls to manage that access. See Manage AI experience access to Business Applications in Work IQ.
Environment features for Work IQ
Enable Work IQ features in the environments where you want to use semantic models, search indexing, business skills, and the Business Applications paths in the Work IQ MCP. Enabling these features in an environment is a separate decision from allowing Work IQ to reason over that environment's data.
To turn on Work IQ in an environment:
- Sign in to the Power Platform admin center.
- Select Manage, and select the environment.
- Select Settings > Product > Features.
- Locate Work IQ.
- Turn on Work IQ if it's currently off.
- Select Save if you made changes.
Environment data participation in Work IQ
Choosing which environments Work IQ can reason over and return data from defines the environment data that participates in Work IQ. This decision is separate from the decision to make Work IQ features available in an environment.
This participation decision includes the environment's business data made available through the Business Applications paths in the Work IQ MCP. Allowing or blocking access to the entire Work IQ MCP server is covered in Manage AI experience access to Business Applications in Work IQ.
Application participation in Work IQ
Within participating environments, makers choose which apps should send data to Work IQ and which should not. Work with makers to include the applications that provide useful business context for your scenarios.
