User authentication for plugin actions

Welcome back to our AI in Action: Building with Copilot Studio!

In Copilot Studio, we used to have copilot author authentication which gave us the option to use actions that ran under the copilot author context. Since Microsoft Build, it is now possible to use user authentication, which enables us to run the actions under user context. This means we can let users access the content they have access to without having to worry about someone accessing data they shouldn't have access to.

In this video, we'll walk you through the following concepts:

1. How to create an action
2. How to configure an action
3. How to run the action as a user

Thanks for watching our video about user authentication for plugin actions.
