Action Required New Power Apps Endpoint Requires Firewall Update by March 31, 2025
Starting March 31, 2025, Microsoft Power Apps will begin using a new endpoint: *.powerplatformusercontent.com. Organizations must update their firewall rules to allow traffic to this endpoint to ensure uninterrupted access to Power Apps services.
What’s Changing?
Previously, Power Apps utilized existing Power Platform endpoints for content delivery. However, Microsoft is introducing *.powerplatformusercontent.com as a dedicated endpoint for handling Power Apps-related content. This change is designed to improve performance, security, and content delivery efficiency.
Action Required
To avoid service disruptions, organizations need to add *.powerplatformusercontent.com to their firewall allowlist before March 31, 2025. Failure to update firewall rules may result in blocked content access within Power Apps, affecting applications that rely on external content storage.
Steps to Update Your Firewall Rules
- Identify your firewall configuration – Determine whether you are using a hardware firewall, software firewall, or cloud-based security solution.
- Modify allowlists – Add
*.powerplatformusercontent.comto the allowlist for outbound traffic. - Test connectivity – Verify that your Power Apps solutions can access the new endpoint without restrictions.
- Inform IT and Security teams – Ensure that relevant teams are aware of this update to prevent unexpected disruptions.
Why This Change Matters
This new endpoint is part of Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to enhance the security and scalability of Power Apps. By separating content delivery to a dedicated domain, Microsoft can better manage data access, optimize performance, and implement stricter security controls.
