Power Pages: Design studio - Unify Power Pages authorization by merging web role with Dataverse security role
Power Pages authorization is being unified with Dataverse security roles by automatically mapping web roles to security roles and Power Pages users to system users. Existing configurations remain intact with no migration required, but admins should understand the new unified model for user and role management going forward.
