Governance takeaway
- Makers: Understand how Dataverse roles, teams, business units and ownership combine before building solutions, because access can become difficult to follow as the estate grows.

- Security/Compliance: Use least-privilege access by default and account for column-level rules alongside record ownership and other security building blocks.
