federated connectors

The federated connectors tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussion of how external and specialist data sources are connected into Microsoft 365 Copilot and related Microsoft search experiences. The tagged content looks at the CAS Connections connector, which brings the CAS Content Collection and the CAS Newton agentic AI into Copilot for pharmaceutical, life sciences and chemical organizations. It frames the practical questions admins and readers tend to ask: how a connector works, who is licensed to use it, and what controls administrators have over access. More broadly, it illustrates how Microsoft is expanding the Copilot connector ecosystem so licensed, domain-specific data can surface inside everyday Microsoft 365 apps.
