Power Platform admin center – Automatic deletion of inactive developer environments

Microsoft Power Platform is introducing a cleanup mechanism that will automatically remove inactive developer environments from your tenant (inclusive of all entry points, including the Power Apps Maker Portal and Power Platform admin center). This change will begin rolling out in mid-April 2023 by region and will be available worldwide by the end of May 2023.

With this change, developer environments will be first disabled after 90 days of inactivity. Once the environment has been disabled for 30 days, the environment will be deleted if no action is taken by administrators.

Updates to the User Administrator role in Microsoft Entra Entitlement Management

On May 3, 2023, Microsoft will update Microsoft Entra Entitlement Management. This update will remove the ability for a user in the User Administrator role to manage Entitlement Management catalogs and access packages. If your organization has relied on users having the User Administrator role to manage Entitlement Management catalogs and access packages, add those users to the Identity Governance Administrator role. This ensures that those users can manage catalogs and access packages in Entitlement Management.

We want to ensure minimal customer impact when we remove Entitlement Management permissions from the User Administrator role. By assigning admins the Identity Governance Administrator role, they will have the necessary permissions to continue managing catalogs and access packages.

Now with successful introduction of the new webinar, we will be decoupling the settings that control the availability of the old (via AllowMeetingRegistration in meeting policy) and the new (via AllowWebinar in events policy) webinar.
