IT admins can further ensure that low-code authors don't accidentally expose corporate data.

Feature details

Secure implicit connections will provide several new security features to prevent the reuse of a connection created for Power Apps:

  • The connection is no longer distributed with the application. The app talks to a proxy connection that is created for the application. Other user authors no longer have access to the connection used in the app.
  • The proxy connection will only communicate with the app for which it was created.
  • An app published with secure implicit connections will only allow queries that are defined in the app. It won't accept any other queries.

Existing applications with implicitly shared connections can convert them to use secure implicit connections by republishing the app. Any existing connections previously published with the app must be disallowed.
