Dataverse – Secure Enterprise Data Storage for Power Platform

We design and implement data models in Microsoft Dataverse – relational tables, business rules, advanced permissions and audit records as the foundation for your Power Apps and Power Automate applications.

RBAC & Security

Role-based access control, row-level and column-level security for GDPR compliance

Relational Data Model

Standard and custom tables with full 1:N and N:N relationship support

Audit Trail

Complete audit records of every record change – who, when and what was changed

Business Rules

Validation rules, calculated fields and workflow logic without code, directly in the data model

What is Microsoft Dataverse?

Microsoft Dataverse is a cloud-based relational data store built directly into Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365. It replaces SharePoint lists and Excel spreadsheets with a full-fledged enterprise database with enterprise security.

Dataverse offers standard tables (Account, Contact, Task…) compatible with Dynamics 365 and unlimited custom tables. Each table supports validation rules, calculated fields, alternate keys and relationships. Virtual tables allow working with external data (SQL Server, Azure, SAP) without copying – data stays at the source.

Who is Dataverse For?

  • Organizations building custom Power Apps on structured data
  • Companies with Dynamics 365 extending the standard data model with custom entities
  • IT teams seeking secure and auditable storage for business data
  • Companies migrating from Access databases or SharePoint lists
  • Projects requiring GDPR-compliant personal data management with audit trail

FAQ – Microsoft Dataverse

Dataverse is a full relational database with RBAC, row-level security, business rules and auditing. SharePoint is primarily document and list management. Dataverse is suited for complex data models with relationships, logic and security requirements.

Dataverse uses a layered security model: Business Units, role-based access control, row-level security and column-level security. Everything is audited with complete change history.

Yes. Dataverse can be connected via Power Automate, Azure Data Factory, virtual tables or Dataverse API. We support integrations with SAP, Dynamics 365, Oracle, SQL Server and more.

Every Microsoft 365 tenant receives base capacity (10 GB + 2 GB per user). For larger capacity, additional storage is purchased or the Power Apps Per User plan includes 250 MB per user.

Dynamics 365 is built directly on Dataverse – it shares the same tables, security model and API. If you have Dynamics 365, you automatically have Dataverse and your Power Apps can work directly with Dynamics data.
