What we learn moving organisations onto the Microsoft cloud. Method, not opinion.
Can your AI assistant read documents the user cannot see?
A badly built RAG searches with the application's identity, not the asker's, and the assistant answers with what the person should not see. The fix is not a filter someone can forget to write: it is passing the user's token and letting Azure AI Search enforce permissions inside the engine.
A cookie banner you can prove, with Azure Tables and Functions
The banner you copy from a vendor can itself be a tracker. Build your own instead, with no third parties, and the hard part turns out not to be the banner: it is keeping the proof that the person consented. Here is all of it, from the browser to the Azure Table, step by step.
Sending email from an application, without a single password

P7CO® EcoResupply: why a certification is worth more than a promise
We built a circular economy platform and took it all the way to the official register of Portugal's Environment Agency. The software is the easy part.

Copilot does not create permission problems. It makes the ones already there findable, and you no longer need to know what you are looking for.
Nothing matches your search.
