Power Apps: Control information density in model-driven apps

🚨 The Signal: Power Apps model-driven apps now allow users to adjust information density. While this is a user experience feature, it could subtly affect data visibility and user interaction with security-relevant information if not configured thoughtfully.

The Impact

All model-driven app users are affected, with a low security risk related to potential misinterpretation of data due to display changes.

  • End users: May experience altered data presentation, potentially affecting quick data review.
  • App makers: Need to consider how density settings interact with critical data displays.
  • Security teams: Low risk of users overlooking security-relevant data in a 'compact' view.

The Action

  1. Review critical model-driven apps to ensure security-relevant data remains clear across all density settings.
  2. Communicate to users that display density is a personal preference and to ensure data clarity for their tasks.
  3. For apps with sensitive data, consider disabling display density if it negatively impacts data comprehension.
