Change EntraAzure Sign in as email
Hi,
We are looking at simplifying the way our users sign into EntraAzure products. Currently they sign into with their Entra UPN which is the same as their on-prem UPN. The issue is some users are firstname.lastname@domain and others are letterlastname@domain. Ideally we would like to change sign into EntraAzure products to be their email address instead. I know we can enable alternative sign in but this then allows the user to sign in as UPN and all emails addresses.
So we’re thinking of changing our Azure AD Connect Application on-premise to use email instead. Please can someone advise the pros and cons of doing this.
Thank you,
Adrian

Upload file option is freezed while creating a new form.
Answer is in the settings, you need to change who can fill this form, if you have selected Anyone, the upload function will not work for security/malware issues. Also, if you select only people from my organization, then it will start working fine.

How to Set Directory Synchronization Features with the Graph
Directory synchronization features control how the Entra Connect tool works when synchronizing accounts from Active Directory to Entra ID. The current advice is to use a cmdlet from the depreciated MSOL module to update settings. This article explains how to do the job with the Graph APIs, including cmdlets from the Entra PowerShell module.

PnP SingleWebPartAppPage removing all page contents
I am trying to convert a SharePoint page into a single web part app page to display a PowerBi report in full screen. I have tried creating the page, converting to “article” layout, adding the embed (both the PBI specific and the generic embed) webpart then running the script to convert to a single webpart app page.
When I run the script, it is converting the page but it is removing the embedded web part.
Here is my code:
$clientId = “XXX”
$clientSecret = “XXX”
$tenantId = “XXX”
$scope = “https://graph.microsoft.com/.default” # Use Microsoft Graph default scope for app-only authentication
Connect-PnPOnline -Url example.com -ClientId $clientId -Tenant $tenantId -Certificatepath “C:UsersUserExample” -CertificatePassword (ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText “Example” -Force)
if(Get-PnPConnection) {
Set-PnPPage -Identity “Example.aspx” -LayoutType singleWebPartAppPage
} else {
Write-Host “Connection failed. Please check your credentials and try again.”
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Inconsistent Data product behavior
Hi all,
I have created a Data product with two Data assets. When I delete one of the Data assets, the Data product still shows the Data asset, but if I go in and refresh, it shows a “not found” error.
If I want to delete the Data asset from the Data product, it doesn’t let me, because it says that it has data Quality rules attached… and that this “Data quality” data must first be deleted.
As you can imagine, I can’t delete this data because the Data asset doesn’t exist and I can’t do anything in the Data quality part.
Is there a solution to delete a “already deleted Data asset” from the list of Data assets within a Data product?
Thanks,
David

Embracing Responsible AI: Measure and Mitigate Risks for a Generative AI App in Azure AI Studio
Hello Students, AI Enthusiasts, Developers, and Innovators!
Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm, redefining the way businesses operate and innovate. Whether you’re an experienced developer or a beginner looking to break into the world of AI, Azure AI Studio offers a robust platform for creating cutting-edge AI applications responsibly and securely.

Today, I’d like to share my experience and encourage you to embark on this journey too, gaining essential skills in the process.
Why Should You Take This Module?
AI holds immense potential, but with that power comes responsibility—particularly when creating generative AI applications. This module offers a thorough, step-by-step guide that not only teaches you the technical aspects of Azure AI but also helps you understand how to minimize risks and ensure responsible AI development.
Whether you’re just getting started with AI or looking to expand your knowledge, this module is ideal because:
Beginner-Friendly: Even if you’re new to Azure AI Studio, the concepts are explained clearly, ensuring you can follow along and build confidence.
Hands-On Learning: You’ll engage with real-world scenarios, comparing, deploying, and interacting with models to build a generative AI app.
Risk Mitigation: It emphasizes safety—teaching you how to create system messages, set up content filters, and evaluate your models to safeguard against inappropriate prompts.
Highlights from the Module
Overview and Prerequisites: You’ll kick off with an introduction to the course objectives and get a list of what’s needed, including an Azure subscription (you can create one for free).
Deploying Models: You’ll learn how to choose from a vast catalog of models and deploy one suited for generative AI applications. You’ll even get to interact with your model using the chat playground—an excellent hands-on feature.
Ground Your Model with Data: Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), you’ll learn how to upload your own data and index it, ensuring your model provides relevant and data-driven responses.
Safety Features: A standout part of the module is how it guides you to set up system messages and content filters, making your model safer by handling sensitive or inappropriate prompts.
Evaluation Process: You’ll explore both manual and automated evaluations to assess the quality and safety of your model’s responses. This is crucial for refining the app and ensuring its robustness before deployment.
Knowledge Check: At the end of the module, you’ll take a knowledge check to ensure your understanding. Plus, you’ll earn a badge—perfect for showcasing your skills on LinkedIn or in your portfolio.
My Experience
Going through this module was a rewarding experience, providing me with both technical insights and practical steps to build more responsible AI applications. It challenged me to think critically about the risks involved in AI, especially in the generative space. Completing the module also gave me the confidence to implement these practices in my projects.

Question about file download on MS Teams app
Dear Sir
I’m developing Tab app for MS Teams application.
We need a file download feature on the Tab app, which is executed by Web hosting.
The thing is that it takes around one minute to download the file.
Therefore, for customer notice, I want to know about if the file download is completed or not.
Is there a API related to this feature?
Many thanks
