M365 Changelog: Secure Power Platform Environment Maker and Basic User security roles

MC512527 – Beginning in March 2023, Power Platform Environment Maker and Basic User security roles will be made non-customizable. The update will be fully deployed by mid-April following our normal update process. For more information you can visit the Service Updates schedule.

How this will affect your organization?
Microsoft provides a set of predefined security roles to run out-of-the-box applications and services in alignment with the role customization policies across the Microsoft Cloud. This allows for a more consistent and reliable admin and user experience. These security roles are not customizable and align with our role customization policies across the Microsoft Cloud to drive a more consistent and reliable admin experience. If you have made changes to these security roles, your changes can be overridden during subsequent system updates.

To avoid interruption to your service or how you maintain the Power Apps Maker experience and your users’ running applications, Microsoft is making the Environment Maker and the Basic User security role non-customizable.

What you need to do to prepare
If you have made changes to the Environment Maker or the Basic User security roles, you will need to plan to create a separate security role and copy from your updated roles.
