People seem to forget this.
There was the following Q&A:
Matt: "There was some confusion about Rand and the Dark One’s permission, so for clarification’s sake, did Rand have the Dark One’s permission to use the True Power?"
Brandon: "I have not answered that. If anyone says that I have, I have not. What I have said specifically is, this is recording [in other words, Matt has audio documentation of this - Terez]: generally one must have the Dark One’s permission to use the True Power. Semirhage believed that the Dark One had betrayed her by letting Rand use it. It is good that you have asked this so I can make sure on the record that is the answer I have given." [emphasis mine]
The exception to the general rule would be that Rand basically used Moridin's permission via the link.
Did Cadsuane actually get any secrets from Semirhage during her breakdown?

I don't think Cadsuane learned anything from Semirhage...

Of course it was necessary to the plot. It's why Shaitan sacrificed Semirhage. *NM*

Doubt that Rand's TP use was intended

It seems very reasonable that the DO would give Rand access to the TP

i thought BSand said that the DO wasn't aware ... am I making that up? *NM*

A rescue attempt at SG seems pretty difficult, though. And Min would be dead.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE TRUE POWER WITHOUT SHAI'TAN'S CONSENT.

We will see. The revelation what was really going on will be very interesting in any case! *NM*

I predict we'll learn all about this in Graendal's ToM POV

But would the Shadow want her to do what Moghidien and Asmodean did?

IMO: Yes.

But why would the Shadow tell Cadsuane & Co.?

Because Semirhage was broken and may have revealed it to them under interrogation/spanking. *NM*

Hmm, I doubt that Semirhage knew this, since she was concentrated on the Seanchan & Rand.

I agree that it's much more likely that Sulin told them about Tam *NM*
