Secure implicitly shared connections in preview

We are excited to announce that secure implicitly shared connections are in full preview (default on for new apps.) This preview feature defaults to on for all new apps in Power Apps. Many customers have asked for this feature, and it is now available in all commercial regions as Preview.

Power Apps’ implicitly shared connections are ones that use a fixed credential such as a SQL Server connection string rather than the end user’s specific credentials (e.g., AAD.) The most prominent use of implicitly shared connections is for SQL Server.

With this preview release authors now get a message in the App if there is an implicitly shared connection that needs attention.
