Changes and improvements
Modern
- Added support for SharePoint theming on column management property pane for the Policy Index web part.
Both
-
Improved the Principal Name and Grouping synchronization jobs for Azure hosted installations to use delta requests from Azure AD. First initial synchronization will take some time, but all subsequent synchronizations will only have to handle changes since last time.To activate it add the feature toggle (app setting) named "UseDeltaSync" with the value "true".
-
Sharepoint Online customers no longer need to configure the SearchUser or the GraphUser service account. The SearchUser was used for timerjobs like compliance reporting. The GraphUser was used for Teams provisioning in Workspaces. Microsoft now support app only authentication for both scenarios.The Lightning Pages module still use the SearchUser. The Wizdom Mobile app leverage the Lightning Pages and therefore still use the SearchUser service account. We have no workaround for these modules.App only search is still not support for onprem. Therefore the SearchUser is still a requirement for onprem installations.In case of any issues with the app only search and provisioning, the service accounts can be reenabled by a configuration toggle. In that case contact LiveTiles support.
-
Added a new type of audiences, called HiddenAudiences (Type=5), which as the name implies is not visible from the UI and can only be managed using the API.
