Data governance
Azure OpenAI Service is currently available in select countries and regions. Customers and partners connecting to Azure OpenAI service within their region won’t require any additional setup, configuration or consent. When connecting to Azure OpenAI service outside of the environment’s region, admins must first consent to data movement across regions before any Copilot features can be used in Business Central.
From Update 23.1, environments deployed within the EU boundary won’t be required to consent to data movement, but environment administrators can opt out at any time.
