What’s new

Rencore Governance ships continuously, about 10 times a day. Follow new governance for Digital Workplace, AI & Agents, and Apps, Automation and BI as it lands, newest first.

Rencore Governance release highlights in motion: the inventory lists Microsoft 365 object types, Planner newly added, and Claude and ChatGPT in preview, while release cards arrive for a new feature, an improvement and a fix; the view then switches to the Rencore app in Microsoft Teams, where two Teams App updates arrive beside a guest review.

Reviews for Power Apps

Power Apps is now a reviewable object in the Review Builder, with Power Apps-specific filters, scopes, reviewers, automations and default review details. Reviewers complete Power Apps reviews in the Rencore Teams App, where they manage owner, co-owner and user access, reassign ownership, remove tenant-wide sharing, and quarantine or delete apps that may not be needed anymore.

  • Review co-owners and users, including access granted through security groups
  • Schedule access reviews for Power Apps in the Review Builder
  • Reassign owners, then quarantine or delete apps nobody needs

Features

Governance for OpenAI ChatGPT

ChatGPT joins the Rencore service catalogue as a Preview. Many organizations run ChatGPT Enterprise next to Microsoft 365, and until now it sat outside the governance they apply to Copilot. OpenAI’s admin console shows one workspace on its own. It doesn’t tell you which department a GPT belongs to, who it is shared with across the company, or let you run your existing policies over it.

Connect your ChatGPT Enterprise workspace and Rencore brings users, groups, custom GPTs, projects, workspace agents, plugins and Codex into the inventory you already govern from. Every ChatGPT user is linked to their Microsoft 365 account, so you can read ownership, sharing and spend by department instead of by email address. Policies flag GPTs and projects shared across the whole workspace, inactive owners, service account credentials and spend limits. Automations help you act on the findings.

  • See ChatGPT users, GPTs, projects, agents and Codex in the inventory beside Microsoft 365
  • Find over-shared GPTs and projects with the policies you already use
  • Isolate, unpublish or delete GPTs, projects and agents straight from Rencore

  • InventoryInventory document libraries no longer show negative Total Size values.
  • Teams AppTeams App Approval History no longer shows obsolete requests from deleted automations and instead displays the latest approvals and declines.
  • ProvisioningProvisioning templates that include valid channels and apps now correctly add them to the provisioned team; invalid channel names are skipped with a warning so remaining channels and apps are still created.
  • Teams AppThe Teams App user picker opened from Add Owner or Add Member is no longer cropped.

Find any report, policy, automation or review in one search

Rencore Governance has grown, and so has the number of places an artifact can live. Until now, finding a specific policy, report or automation meant knowing which area it sits in and scrolling through that list. With this release, Global Search is available for all customers. You can open it from the left navigation, type part of a name, and jump straight to the review, policy, report or automation. Results are grouped by type, ranked by relevance, and only ever show what you are allowed to see in the environment you are in.

  • Search reports, policies, automations, reviews, provisioning templates and inventories from one place
  • See results grouped by type with the matched term highlighted

Governance for Anthropic Claude in Rencore Governance - Preview

Also this week, Planner is generally available.

Claude now runs alongside Microsoft 365 in a lot of organizations, and so far it has sat outside your governance. With this release, Anthropic Claude joins the Rencore connector catalogue as a Preview. It is our first connector outside the Microsoft stack. Connect your Claude Enterprise organization and you can govern Claude from the same place you already govern Copilot and Microsoft 365.

  • See your Claude data in the inventory beside Microsoft 365
  • Enforce policies on Claude with the rules you already use

Custom Metadata in Rencore Governance

Custom Metadata is now available in private preview, allowing you to add your own properties and objects to bring organization-specific data into the Rencore application and use it across policies, reports, reviews, provisioning, and automations.

We will continuously add more customers to the private preview throughout the next weeks.

Quarantine, delete, and reassign Copilot Studio agents with automations

Three new automation actions let admins act on Copilot Studio agents from the Automation Builder. Quarantine takes an agent out of active operation across channels, and release brings it back after remediation. Delete removes an agent and its inventory entries, and Reassign hands an agent to a new owner. The actions run through a dedicated consent for Power Platform API admin actions.

  • Isolate noncompliant agents while makers can still test them
  • Give orphaned agents a new owner
  • Use all Copilot Studio data placeholders and relations in automations

Features

1
  • Consent

    Copilot Studio consent with auto-discovery

    Copilot Studio consent now discovers environments automatically, so no manual environment list is needed. The consent panel shows connected and failed environments and the next scan time, and a renewed consent is required.

Start reviews automatically when a policy detects a violation

Reviews can now start on a policy violation, next to manual and scheduled triggers.

  • Policy findings flow straight into a review
  • The reviewed object type follows the policy
  • Reviews and automations of a policy in one view

Microsoft 365 Groups join Teams, SharePoint, and Viva Engage communities in Reviews and Workspaces. Admins select Microsoft 365 Groups in the Review Builder, filter the scope, and set reviewers and a schedule.
