As organizations continue to scale their use of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform, keeping up with real-world solutions to common challenges is more important than ever. That’s why DynamicsCon is such a valuable space—not just for networking, but for learning directly from those building practical, scalable solutions every day.
This year, two consultants from Provisions Group, Catt Henson and Sarah Parmenter, will be sharing hands-on insights you can bring back to your own team. Whether you're an IT leader, system administrator, or Power Platform developer, these sessions are packed with actionable strategies and time-saving techniques.
Session 1: Automate Teams Creation with Power Automate, Microsoft Graph API, and JSON
Speaker: Catt Henson, Power Platform Solution Architect
Many organizations rely heavily on Microsoft Teams, but manually creating Teams with the right structure and permissions can be repetitive and inconsistent. In this session, you'll learn how to automate Teams creation using tools already in your Microsoft 365 toolbox.
You’ll walk away knowing how to:
-
Use Power Automate and Microsoft Graph API to create Teams with specific private/shared channels
-
Trigger automated Teams creation from a SharePoint list
-
Dynamically name channels using variables for a personalized structure
-
Immediately remove and reuse Team names—no more 90-day waiting period
This session is ideal if you're looking to streamline your onboarding process, manage project-based Teams at scale, or reduce administrative overhead in Microsoft Teams management.
Session 2: Dataverse Security in an Hour: Business Units, Owners, and Roles
Speaker: Sarah Parmenter, Senior Dynamics 365 Consultant
Understanding Dataverse security can be overwhelming. This session simplifies the core components, Business Units, Security Roles, Teams, and Ownership models, and walks through how they work together to protect and scale access to data across your organization.
You'll gain clarity on:
-
How Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) connects to Dataverse User Tables
-
The difference between “User-first” vs. “Teams-first” security models
-
How to automate team-based security to handle complex org structures
-
Why record ownership and Business Unit design can make or break scalability
-
Tools to support auditing, reporting, and bulk user management
For admins managing Power Platform environments, or any organization concerned with governance and security at scale, this session provides real-world solutions you can use immediately.
Why These Sessions Matter
These sessions address the day-to-day realities of growing teams, complex org charts, security challenges, and automation needs. Both sessions are grounded in client work and designed to offer tools, patterns, and ideas that can be adapted across industries.
Whether you’re dealing with security sprawl, inconsistent Teams usage, or limited visibility into user roles and access, these talks are about solving problems, not just showcasing capabilities.
Planning to Attend?
If you’re building with Microsoft Power Platform or Dynamics 365, both sessions will give you a clear picture of how to work smarter within the Microsoft ecosystem, no matter your industry.
We hope you’ll join Catt and Sarah at DynamicsCon, ask questions, and bring your own challenges to the table. Let’s talk about how Provisions Group can help you simplify, automate, and elevate your Dynamics 365 environment.
See you at DynamicsCon!
