About this tag
Dataverse security covers how Microsoft's Power Platform governs access to business data, especially where internal and external identity models meet. The tagged discussion examines Power Pages enhanced authorization, explaining how Dataverse System Users and Security Roles differ from the Contacts and Web Roles used for external portal visitors. It looks at the architectural split between those worlds, the elevated application user that bridges them, and the role of C2 users, plug-ins, and custom scope in evaluating access. For administrators and developers building or maintaining Power Pages, Power Apps Portals, or Dynamics 365 Portals, this tag gathers practical guidance on authorization design and Dataverse access control.
