Details:

We are announcing the ability to standardize security role and system application docs in Microsoft Dataverse. This feature will reach general availability on March 31, 2026.

How does this affect me
With this feature, users, admins, and non-admins can easily find Microsoft Dataverse security roles and their respective privileges in the documentation or by asking Microsoft Copilot in Bing. The Microsoft Learn site automatically documents these roles and applications with standard and consistent content. Customers can use Copilot in Bing to find the list of privileges in a security role and see the differences between security roles without asking a local admin to access a Dataverse environment.
