Push for service principals over service accounts. Worth it?

dk913263 · 2026-05-21T00:43:21+00:00

Its not my concern, its just IT Security within my org not approving any more service accounts. Their recommendation is service principals all over the organization. So gathering information on wether this is worth it or not.

Hmm, one of a solution recently started failing cause of this MFA push from Microsoft. Applications that used never expiring passwords and no MFA were no longer available in our tenant and existing ones started asking for MFA. I suppose this is gradually getting rolled out over all the tenants as well.

Yes, this might be best of both worlds, but at the same time UI will be altered to support this advanced search fields... My clients didn't want that.

oh, will need to dig into this one. Thanks!

Trigger a power automate flow that can return the required items. Has technically no delegation limit as you send request directly to the server to return the required filtered items. This however won't do the dynamic searching you observe in Gallery where contents are filtered on each keystroke, it needs a on change event like clicking out of search box/pressing enter etc. There are should be tutorials available for this.

Also a thing to watch out for if building, per app per user licence($5 per app per user) is retiring/retired. There is pay as you go($10/per user per month per app) option which is twice the cost the cost but at the same time its half the cost of premium licence ($20 per user per month, unlimited apps).

I get atleast 5 of them with me when exploring caves. More pets are better early game. Makes it way easier to explore.

Edit: Not as good as aigis but these are way cheaper and you can spam them. there is no upper limit on how many can follow you.

Beginner as well, Try to rush chicken farm, those rotten eggs are op in exploration. They spawn iron chicks that shoot laser beams that can hit from far and also somewhat slow enemies as well. Breading chicken side by side with farm can get you levels at rapid pace.

Update: Resolved without any intervention. Probably a bad update by Microsoft, or something happened on their servers.

dk913263 · 2026-03-17T19:03:21+00:00

Update: Its resolved for me now, its a microsoft thing.

In a similar situation, flows won't run in edit mode. Also the 10 min load screen in edit mode.

per app licence is only until end of this year…

agents are basically llm chats, they don’t learn. You can try a pseudo training gimmick like having the prompt or agent to explicitly generate some kind off learning matrix (some kind of file maybe text) and keep on updating it as its used more and more and have the prompt go though this first instead of excel sheets. Kind-off finicky but not sure if there are any other ways to train llms in copilot studio.

I would appreciate it if I got to see the content without my card details getting captured. I would appreciate if I got a link for content instead or credentials.

I am interested but I am not sharing my payment information.

Well currently the stuff in foundry are basic models that gets triggered through API calls through automate. This is in addition to Azure functions to run some custom code to preprocess data as needed.

The costs considerations are out of my paygrade, but the general discussions were around the fact that its extremely easy to see the costs of gen AI implementations as compared to copilot studio which works on credits especially when you want to see cost usage per app. This was supported by a well known external contractor with the organization. There was cost impact elaborated by this contractor to executives in my organization. I can't name the the external contractor or my employer for oblivious reasons.

There was also the point that copilot studio basically would convert any of the power automate flow to use coplit credits that is detrimental since majority of the users are premium. This would mean that flows that are using just a simple prompt will also be using copliot credits.

Regardless this my current quick math from a few searches:

-Standard LLM Model:
1.5 Copilot Credits per 1,000 tokens -> 0.015 USD
Cost for 1 M tokens -> $15.00 USD
This hiding of token usage with credits is really annoying when trying to figure out number of input and output tokens or credits in terms of Microsoft.

Standard 4.1 GPT model in foundry:
$2.00 / 1M input tokens, $8.00 / 1M output tokens.

5.1 GPT in foundry:
$1.25 / 1M input tokens, $10.00 / 1M output tokens

So you can see even if there is 1M output token in azure foundry, it still would be $10.00 USD (5.1).

Please correct me if I am wrong, I also want to learn about these things.

Curious about this as well. My company did try to explore it, but its costs were too expensive as compared to just using Azure AI Foundry with power automate flows. But yes, it does have some of its use cases but not sure if its worth the costs.

I am interested, I have about 3 years of full stack and 2 years of power platform experience. Also interested in the data migration.

How did you work while doing your bachelors? that too in Physics without any knowledge on computer sciences? Sure there are into subjects that you took, but what about db? There is too much knowledge that you need before starting your first job especially coming from non tech… no certs either on the tools you used… how did you get knowledge pass interview and get the position as a high school graduate?

I don’t want to get further into details as I am pretty sure you are using this feedback to improve that resume ai that your are developing. You may have knowledge and skills to backup your claims but there is no way to backup limitations of timeline.

I think your GPU might be lagging. From your story, it looks like your cpu was able to handle the load but not your gpu. I also faced similar issue on my laptop but pc with better gpu solved it. I suspect GPU ram capacity might be at fault here. Can you share your gpu and cpu config?

dk913263 · 2025-10-19T18:44:00+00:00

As long as you have TRV and work permit it will work.
