Direct effects for Operations**
Guest Application Permission Management
If SharePoint Admins do not prepare by downloading the latest SharePoint PowerShell version, they will be unable to manage guest application permissions effectively, leading to potential unauthorized access to sensitive SharePoint Embedded applications.

User Access Control
Without proper preparation, the inability to manage guest application permissions may result in users facing access issues or security vulnerabilities, as guest applications may not be properly vetted or controlled.
