Tenant Restrictions V2

Updated

- TRv2 does not enforce restrictions on cross-cloud requests at the authentication plane, so access is permitted during authentication. However, TRv2 does block cross-cloud requests at the data plane. As a result, when using Windows Group Policy (GPO), users will be unable to access TRv2-enlightened resources across cloud boundaries.
