Power Platform content hits a wall — CMH removes it.
CMH (Content Management Hub) is essential for organizations and ISVs who need secure, enterprise-grade document management on Dataverse — especially when files are large, compliance is strict, and licensing must be enforceable.
Why CMH is essential
🛡️ Security that doesn’t depend on UI
Access decisions and licensing enforcement happen server-side — not in the browser.
📦 Large files (10+ GB) done right
Chunked, resumable uploads built for real enterprise networks and constraints.
📋 Governance & auditability by design
Metadata, entitlements, and traceability live in Dataverse — consistently.
The hard truth: native patterns break under enterprise pressure
When files get large, security requirements get strict, and the solution must be commercialized — “good enough” upload patterns become operational risk.
Power Platform accelerates delivery — but organizations quickly face recurring friction:
- Binary content doesn’t belong in Dataverse at scale — but must still be governed.
- Blob URLs must not leak into client apps or logs.
- Licensing cannot be UI-based if you plan to sell or enforce entitlements.
- Power Pages access patterns require careful abstraction and server-side control.
What CMH delivers (key points)
🔒 Secure access model
No public endpoints. Short-lived access tokens only. Server-side validation for every critical operation.
⚙️ Enterprise upload pipeline
Chunked + resumable uploads with progress reporting and consistent orchestration through Dataverse Custom APIs.
🧾 Dataverse-first governance
Metadata, ownership, entitlements, and auditing live in Dataverse — storage lives in Azure Blob.
🧩 Power Pages & Model-Driven compatibility
Designed to work across delivery channels while keeping the security model consistent.
🧠 ISV-grade licensing
Licensing is enforceable (server-side + cryptographic patterns), offline-resilient, and designed for commercial distribution.
