Admin Center Changes for Users, Teams and Roles

A couple of months ago, I wrote a post about changes on the creation of Application Users and the ability to manage this via the Power Platform Admin Center.

What happens though when the requirement is to disable bulk edit from a user only on a particular entity. This becomes a little more complicated.
