Microsoft Advanced Connector Policies give Power Platform administrators action-level control over SAP connectors and MCP servers used by AI agents.
Power Platform inventory helps governance teams identify which apps, flows, and agents rely on SAP connector operations before policies are applied.
Microsoft’s June 2026 SAP documentation refresh expands guidance covering procurement templates, authentication, setup, and Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on.
Microsoft moved to harden how Power Platform governs SAP connectivity in June 2026, pairing a new connector governance model with a wave of refreshed SAP documentation.
On June 4, 2026, Microsoft published the general availability of Advanced Connector Policies for Power Platform, then detailed extensive SAP guidance updates in its June 11, 2026 feature update.
Together the releases reinforce Power Platform’s position as the governed integration layer for SAP environments running AI agents.

Advanced Connector Policies Replace the Classic DLP Model
Advanced Connector Policies replace the classic data loss prevention framework with allowlist-based governance at the action and MCP server level. Microsoft applies a single policy per environment, inherited from an environment group or set directly on the environment.
The model lets administrators control which connectors are allowed, as well as specific SAP connector actions and MCP servers AI tools are permitted to use. Microsoft describes the design as a streamlined mental model where every environment has at most one policy in effect.
A New Compliance Surface for Agentic SAP Access
Microsoft positions the shift as addressing a new compliance surface created by AI agents reaching into SAP systems. The company notes that what enterprises need to govern is no longer just which connectors, but which actions and MCP servers inside them that AI tools utilize.
That distinction matters for SAP tenants, where the SAP ERP connector and SAP OData connector now fall under the same action-level governance framework. The policy model gives Power Platform administrators a way to scope agentic access to SAP precisely rather than at the connector level alone.
June Documentation Refresh Spans SAP Templates and SSO
The June 11, 2026 feature update confirmed 27 or more SAP documentation pages refreshed across the Power Platform administration section. Pages covered include the SAP Procurement template, SAP Supplier Self Service, the SAP Setup Assistant, authentication configuration for SAP solutions, and Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on for the SAP OData connector.
The same release introduced a Power Platform inventory public preview that shows connectors and operations used by every app, flow, and agent. The coordinated refresh signals a deepening of Power Platform’s SAP integration guidance alongside the new governance controls.
What This Means for SAPinsiders
- Governed AI connectivity to SAP becomes a selection criterion. Administrators are evaluating integration platforms on action-level and MCP server governance, not connector allowlists alone. SAP tenants running Power Platform are scoping agent access before expanding agentic workflows.
- Connector inventory becomes a governance prerequisite. Visibility into which apps, flows, and agents use SAP connectors underpins effective policy design. Power Platform CoE teams are mapping SAP connector usage ahead of broader agent rollouts.
- Documentation cadence signals production momentum. Refreshing 27 or more SAP guides in a single cycle reflects rising deployment volume. SAP administrators are aligning authentication and SSO configurations with the updated Microsoft guidance.
