26. • To prevent data loss, as an
admin, you can setup policies
that classify services into three
data groups.
• Any Flow or PowerApp that uses
services from the Business data
only and No business data
allowed groups will be blocked.
• Policies can be applied to the
entire tenant or specific groups
of users
• In the future, we’ll add more
actions like info tips, block
pending business justification,
and custom groups.
