Upcoming changes to the Power Apps Maker Portal admin settings

Originally posted by Microsoft May 4, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

The Power Apps Maker Portal Learn Seach API utilizes a global endpoint, and the user search term is being sent to that endpoint. This could cause issues with European Union Data Boundary (EUDB) compliance as the user search term should stay within the user’s selected data boundary. To be EUDB compliant, we are changing the default tenant admin setting value for PowerPlatform.Search.disableDocsSearch from false to true.

How does this affect me?

New tenants will need to explicitly set the value to false in order to perform in-app searches for the ‘Learn’ and ‘Documentation’ categories. By doing so, the tenant admin acknowledges that user search terms may be sent outside of the elected data boundary region. The following search categories are unaffected by this change:

• My apps
• Create
• Blogs
• Community
• Web videos

What action do I need to take?

To enable the docs search for your users, use these instructions. As an alternative, your users can perform searches directly on the Microsoft Learn site:

• Documentation
• Training
