Users working ...

Thanks for the feedback! This is a good idea, but isn't currently in our product roadmap. The Azure data center in which the data for the Business Central environment is located is based on the country localization selected for the environment. Much of this is based on countries' legal requirements for data storage. When doing business in specific countries, often the data is required to stay within the geographical borders of those countries. However, we'll continue to track this request for consideration in a future release of Business Central.

The Business Central Team

We are finding that the updates cause MANY more problems than they fix. Example - on...

Non Global Admin role to get access to BC Administration Center

We would like to be able to give the people who manage our Business Central Tenant access to the Business Central Administration Center, but we cannot because they are not Global Admins in our network.

Thank you for your feedback. In 2022 wave 1 we are adding Environment Lifecycle signals to Application Insights for your environments. These signals will include the events for which we currently send out email notifications, enabling administrators to set up email notifications triggered by signals in Application Insights in the way that best meets their needs.

For example, you could only trigger notifications for selected events/environments, or group notifications for multiple environments in multiple tenants if you manage many environments.

Best regards,
Joost Bulsink, PM
