01
Why this is critical
Personal Microsoft accounts offer limited cloud syncing and cannot access enterprise unattended bot clustering, Dataverse work queues, or CoE starter kit governance.
02
Operational mechanics
Makers authenticate via OAuth 2.0 / MSAL against Azure Entra ID. The authentication token provides secure access to Power Platform environments, Dataverse tables, and Cloud Flow triggers.
03
Production standard
Zero unmanaged hardcoded credentials, explicit timeout ceilings, and structured logging.
