explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft is introducing a new feature that will help manage the security of Copilot agents within your organization. Think of it like setting up security measures for a building. Just as you decide who can enter and how they should identify themselves, this feature allows administrators to control how Copilot agents are authenticated when they interact with your systems.
There are three main options for authentication, which is like deciding how someone proves their identity at the door. The first option is to authenticate with Microsoft, similar to having a badge that is recognized by a central security system. The second option is manual authentication, which is like checking someone's ID manually. The third option is no authentication, allowing anyone to enter without showing any ID, similar to leaving the doors open for anyone to walk in.
The feature also integrates with existing security settings, like the Data Policy virtual connector. If you have security measures in place both at the door and inside the building, the strictest rule will apply. For example, if you decide that no one can enter without showing ID, this rule will be enforced even if one of the doors is set to allow open access.
Administrators are encouraged to use the new Authentication for agents setting in the Power Platform admin center. This is like upgrading your security system to a more modern and flexible one that can handle different groups and rules more efficiently.
No immediate action is required, but it's good to be aware of these changes so you can plan for how they might affect your organization's security policies in the future.
