Deep Dive into Web Pages

Power Pages and Microsoft Dataverse

• Most Power Pages sites will need to display data that is stored inside Microsoft Dataverse. In this chapter you will learn about creating Lists and Basic/Advanced Forms to given site visitors the capabilities to view and edit Dataverse data.

Configuring authentication in a Power Pages site

• Although a Power Pages site could be setup with anonymous access, most sites require some form of authentication. Learn about the supported authentication types and how to configure them.

Configuring authorization in a Power Pages site

• Each authenticated user is associated with a contact record in Microsoft Dataverse. These users must be assigned to Web Roles to grant them permissions. Table permissions are then used to grant users access to Microsoft Dataverse data. Quite often not all users should be able to access all Web Pages. This can be controlled using Web Page Access Control Rules.

Power Pages sites and ALM

• Power Pages sites are typically created in a development environment. Once finished, you want to move them to an acceptance and/or production environment. In this chapter you will learn how you can implement ALM with Power Pages sites.
