Business value

Support the application lifecycle management process where security role privilege updates are honored after managed solution import.

Feature details

When a Power Platform admin modifies security roles that are system-predefined customizable or custom security roles previously imported by a Dataverse managed solution, these customizations can be overwritten by importing an update to the managed solution containing those security roles or when the system refreshes these security roles.

With this feature, the system predefined customizable security roles, custom security roles, and privileges will be merged with the updates to the security roles and privileges done by the Power Platform admin in an environment instead of overwriting the preexisting updates.
