Blocking unmanaged customizations prevents anyone to update the Test, UAT or Production Dynamics 365 CE instances directly without any proper approvals or ALM life cycle, and hence this preview feature provides reliability, safety and auditing.
Once the setting is enabled these restrictions will be imposed for the environment:
- Import of unmanaged solutions into the environment are blocked.
- Creation of new solution objects like apps, tables, and forms are blocked.
- Customizing existing solution objects are blocked.
- Any unmanaged customizations changes result in an error returned to the user, such as: “This environment doesn’t allow unmanaged customizations. This was a choice made by your admin, and certain actions won’t be available or will be view only.”
The following operations are not blocked by this feature:
- Change of environment variable values.
- Enabling or disabling of solution objects. For example, turning Power Automate flows on or off.
- Assigning of ownership or sharing of table records.
- Solutions operations like remove active customizations.
- Creation and export of unmanaged solutions.
The feature cannot be enabled in the default environment.
