ordered access control list in order to

classify custom connector host URL

endpoints as Business, Non-Business, or

Blocked at a tenant level.

Wildcard * is supported for pattern

matching within host URLs.

We'll also support individual custom

connector classifications for

environment-level policies using Power

Platform admin center user interface (UI).
