Discussed in our November PPAF call the idea of renaming "Authentication" to "Access". Alternatively consider just broadening the Auth discussion to include Access more generally given how much material is already out there with the established dimension names.

Hey @andrewdwelch,

I think we should include in this part points like:

• the identity of the users in the Power Platform come and is managed by Azure Active Directory ==> so many things that come with Azure Active Directory (ex: Conditional Access...) are involved in the configuration of the access to the Power Platform
• how Azure Active Directory security groups can (should?) be used to manage the access to the Power Platform (ex: security group on an environment, azure active directory group teams...)
• the basics of the security model that comes with Dataverse (security roles, business units, teams, field access security...)
• the different ways data or "features" actions can be consumed (ex: from an Excel file I can query data from Dataverse, I can call a custom action using an authorized user like any other APi...)

What do you think? 😊
