 This session explores how Azure’s powerful integration services, including Azure Logic Apps, Azure Functions, and Service Bus, can be utilized to create efficient, scalable, and secure integrations between a website and Dynamics 365. Additionally, I plan to highlight the importance of end-to-end correlation between the external client website, Azure resources, and Dynamics 365.

I propose to cover how to:
– Design and implement integration solutions using Azure Integration Services.
– Utilize diagnostic settings, Azure Workbooks, and Kusto Query Language (KQL) to monitor and analyze operations.
– Implement distributed correlation between the external website, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Service Bus to ensure end-to-end tracking and troubleshooting.
– Leverage managed identities to authenticate Logic Apps with Dynamics 365 securely and efficiently.

By the end of this session, I hope attendees gain practical insights into creating seamless integrations and ensuring robust monitoring and diagnostics of their operations. Whether you are a developer, architect, or IT professional, I aspire the session will provide the knowledge and tools needed to harness the full potential of Azure for your Dynamics 365 integration projects.

In this session, I’ll walk attendees through how to streamline their development process by automating code reviews and managing version control using Azure DevOps.

Have you ever wondered how to deal with data source custom fields on Power BI?
In this session, you are going to discover how to use PowerShell to create roles with dynamic Object-Level Security (OLS) in your Power BI Semantic Model, ensuring your custom fields are properly secured.

To achieve secure and dynamic management of sensitive information in Power BI, we present an approach that combines PowerShell scripting with the Tabular Object Model and the creation of OLS through metadata configuration. Additionally, we will use the Microsoft Fabric API to deploy the changes to the Semantic Model.

We are going to explore real-world scenarios with different degrees of complexity and showcase practical examples, taking your Power BI Dataset security to new heights.
