What’s New in the Modern Cloud Governance Admin Center?
- The following dynamic service updates are available in **Management** > **Dynamic services**:
- IT administrators can configure whether to allow approvers to edit the service request in the basic service settings.
- Added the **Create Power BI workspace** service to allow business users to request Power BI workspace creation.
- The following updates are available in the **Change library settings** service:
- Added the **Change navigation setting** and **Change version settings** settings to allow business users to change the library navigation and version settings via the service requests.
- Columns of the **Choice**, **Yes/No**, and **Person or group** types can now be created when configuring the **Create library columns** built-in action.
- If IT administrators hide lookup metadata from business users, they can now choose whether to add the metadata to the workspace after adding it to a service.
- The **Create shared mailbox** service requests now support the creation of shared mailboxes with duplicate names across different domains for improved consistency.
- IT administrators can now configure the **Create site collection** service to define whether duplicate site collection titles are allowed. When this setting is enabled, the system will automatically check if the specified site collection name is already occupied by an existing object on the request page.
- In the **Manage permissions** service, under the **Manage SharePoint groups** setting, IT administrators can allow requesters to create SharePoint groups and assign the **$Primary site collection administrator** role as the new SharePoint group owner. When the role is held by a group, a user from the group will be randomly selected and assigned as new SharePoint group owner.
- When business users start dynamic service requests from the Site Information Card within their Microsoft 365 environment, the object URL is now automatically filled into the request forms.
- Business users can now request to change the ownership or membership of Viva Engage communities via the **Change ownership or membership** service.
- The **Change metadata** service now supports dynamic metadata changing mode, and a **Dynamic metadata** setting has been added to allow IT administrators to define the dynamic metadata profile that will be applied to the target object.
- The following profile updates are available in **Management** > **Profiles & templates**:
- Copilot Studio agent contact election profiles can now be configured in Contact election profiles.
- If a Microsoft Entra property metadata has been configured as a contact, IT administrators can configure whether the metadata value will be updated when the specified contact changes in Metadata profiles.
- Dynamic metadata profiles can now be configured to predefine metadata branches that are used by services and profiles.
- Automated escalation profiles and renewal profiles can now be configured for management of the newly supported Power Pages site object type.
- If the owner of a team changes, any modern team renewal task assigned to the **$Object admin** role for the team will now be automatically reassigned to the new team owner.
- When configuring automatic import profiles or renewal profiles for teams, IT administrators can now choose whether to allow the confirm governance details task assignee to restore a team for lifecycle management.
- Microsoft 365 Archive can now be configured as the second stage escalation action in automated escalation profile for the following object types: Microsoft 365 Group, team, and Viva Engage community.
- The following updates are available in **Settings** > **System settings**:
- The **Enable archived team governance** setting is now supported to manage the state and related tasks of archived teams. It allows IT administrators to control how archived teams (excluding those archived due to escalation) are handled in terms of compliance and task generation.
- IT administrators can now send a consolidated digest email of all notifications at your preferred frequency, instead of sending individual emails to users.
- The **Power Pages report** is now available under **Directory**. Tenants with an available subscription for AvePoint EnPower for Power Platform can access and manage Power Pages sites in EnPower.
- The Cloud Governance API is now supported for the following service types, enabling integration with external systems for seamless automation: Manage permissions, Create Microsoft 365 Group, Create Viva Engage community, Microsoft 365 Group lifecycle management, and Invite guest user (invite a single guest user).
What’s New in the End User Portal?
- Power Pages site owners can now review and modify the site contacts, website access permissions, and metadata through Power Pages site renewal tasks.
- Objects of the following types can now be viewed and managed in the MyHub **Spaces** report: room mailbox, equipment mailbox, hybrid shared mailbox, hybrid distribution group, hybrid security group, hybrid mail-enabled security group, Power App, Power Automate flow, Power BI workspace, and Copilot Studio agent.
- Business users can now receive task notifications within the MyHub app.
- When submitting dynamic provisioning service requests via the Cloud Governance API, requesters should avoid manually setting the constructed URL, ID, name, or title to ensure compatibility with the updated automated logic of Cloud Governance.
