Microsoft Dataverse
The shared data platform under Dynamics 365 CRM apps and the Power Platform — tables, relationships, security, and APIs.
Microsoft Dataverse is the data platform that sits under Dynamics 365's CRM-side apps (Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Project Operations, Customer Insights) and the Power Platform. It provides a managed relational database with tables, relationships, role-based security, business rules, calculated and rollup columns, server-side workflows, and a standardised Open Data (OData) Web API. Dataverse comes with a starter schema known as the Common Data Model that defines tables like Account, Contact, and User. Storage and API capacity are licensed through Dataverse capacity, included in most Dynamics 365 and Power Apps subscriptions.
