Original query, unchanged.

////////////
// threshold = If the number of unique accounts that a power app is shared with is greater than
// threshold than it'll trigger an alert. A threshold of 5 is good to start with.
// However, if this is giving too many false positives, please adjust the threshold.
////////////
let threshold = 5;
////////////
// Please replace the allowed_domains with a list of domains of your partners/sibling orgs
// with whom you generally share power apps with. This will allow us to filter
// legitimate bulk sharing attempts. Avoid using domains such as gmail, outlook, etc.
///////////
let allowed_domains = pack_array("contoso.com");
