💙 Out of the Blue

🚀 Microsoft announced two new significant enhancements to DLP policies in Power BI: CPU metering for DLP policy evaluation & overriding policy tips, and reporting false positives

🤵🏻🦸🏻‍♀️🚀 The Power Automate team has released the Android app to general availability (GA) after only two weeks of preview! The app is redesigned to provide quicker response times and improvements to some of you who encountered previous login issues. Impressive!

🤵🏻🦸🏻‍♀️🚀 A new feature has been announced that provides Dynamics 365 records to users who search for information on Bing.com, Office.com, and SharePoint.com. This makes it easy for users to find the most relevant customer and business data stored in their Dynamics 365 Dataverse environment, where they work without having to change context or log into an app to find records they need to work with daily.

🦸🏻‍♀️👩‍💻 This week, the Power BI team announced the public preview of Multiple Audiences in the Power BI Apps, one of the highly requested features from the community. With multiple audiences for an App, Power BI App authors can create multiple audience groups within the same App and assign different permissions to each group.

🚀 IP-based cookie binding will help customers respond to cookie replay security threats in Dataverse. IP-based cookie binding blocks the cookie replay attack. It does it by evaluating the IP address attached to the cookie. If the cookie IP address in the request is different than the IP address of the cookie that was initially created, the Dataverse API will reject the cookie in real time and prompt the user with a message.
