{How to} Create AI-generated deployment notes in pipelines for Power Platform

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to show how AI generates a deployment notes in the pipleline for Power Platform.

Let's get's started.

What is AI generated Deployment in the Power Platform for Power Platform?

Suppose sometimes solutions becomes complex, contains hundreds of components in it, so it would be difficult to partition and summarize.

With the pipeline deployments, admins and deployment approvers will have to open the solutions themselves to gain access an understanding of what's included unless that information is provided in the deployment notes.

By helping makers generate useful solution descriptions with AI automatically during their deployment, a simple click prevents intervention from an admin to understand the purpose of a deployment to approve it and properly manage it.

Note: Before you apply the AI generated description read the description and click apply changes.

That's it for today.

I hope this helps

{How to} License autoclaim for Power Apps Licenses

Hello Everyone,

Today i am going to show how to claim power apps licenses autoclaim.

Let's get's started.

License autoclaim for Power Apps will simplify license assignments for admin. This feature enables their Power Apps users to automatically claim Power Apps per user licenses when they're needed instead of requiring the admin to identify users who needs licenses in advance.

So Admins will be able to setup an autoclaim policy for Power Apps per user licenses in the Microsoft 365 admin center just like they can for other Microsoft Licenses. After they do so, any user in their tenant that needs a standalone Power Apps license will be automatically assigned a Power Apps per user license when they need it. 

For example: If a user without a standalone Power Apps license opens an app that requires a premium license, the user will automatically be assigned a Power Apps per user license.

A report of all users who have been assigned licenses under the autoclaim policy will be available in the Microsoft  365 Admin Center. Admins can choose to enable or disable the autoclaim policy at any time.

How do you do that?

You should be an Global Admin for Microsoft 365 Tenant to create and manage auto-claim policies,

You can turn on or off by going into Admin center > Billing > Licenses page then select the Auto-claim Policy tab.

In the center of the page, select the Turn on Settings button.

Similarly how to turn off auto-claim ploicy?

Only global admin can turn off an auto-claim policy setting.

1. In the admin center, go to the settings > Org settings page

2. Near the bottom of the table select the User Owned apps and services.

3. In the right pane, clear the box for the Let users auto-claim licenses the first time they sign in.
