PL-900 Practice Test 25 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A company wants to allow external users to access a Power Pages site without requiring them to sign in. Which authentication setting should be configured?

Accepted Answer

Enable anonymous access in the site settings. Enabling anonymous access in the site settings allows users to browse the Power Pages site without signing in. Option A is incorrect because configuring Microsoft Entra ID as the identity provider requires authentication. Option B is incorrect because local authentication also requires sign-in. Option D is incorrect because creating a web role for everyone still requires authentication; web roles are for authorization after authentication.

Answer

Configure Microsoft Entra ID as the identity provider

Answer

Set up local authentication with username and password

Answer

Create a web role that grants access to everyone

Question 2

A Power BI report uses the KQL query shown. What is the purpose of this query?

Accepted Answer

To show total sales per product category for North America in descending order. The KQL query uses the `summarize` operator to group sales data by `ProductCategory` and calculate the total sales amount using `sum(SalesAmount)`. The `where` clause filters for `Region == 'North America'`, and `order by` sorts the aggregated results in descending order. This produces a list of product categories with their total sales for North America, sorted from highest to lowest.

Answer

To list all sales transactions for North America

Answer

To calculate average sales amount by region

Answer

To filter sales data by product category

Question 3

Your organization uses Power Apps and Power Automate to manage a vendor onboarding process. The app must send an email notification to the compliance team when a high-risk vendor is added. The compliance team resides in a different Microsoft Entra ID tenant. Which approach should you use?

Accepted Answer

Use the HTTP connector with a custom API. The HTTP connector can send email to external recipients without sharing a mailbox. Option A is wrong because Dataverse connectors are tenant-scoped. Option B is wrong because Outlook connector requires shared mailbox or user credentials. Option C is wrong because Teams connector is for internal users.

Answer

Use the Outlook 365 connector with a shared mailbox

Answer

Use the Dataverse connector with a custom action

Answer

Use the Microsoft Teams connector to post a message

Question 4

Which TWO statements about Power Pages security are true?

Accepted Answer

Page permissions can restrict access to specific pages based on web roles.. Options B and C are correct. Page permissions (B) control access to specific pages based on web roles, and table permissions (C) define what operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) a user can perform on Dataverse data. Option A is incorrect because authentication providers are configured in the Power Pages admin center, not directly in Dataverse. Option D is incorrect because IP restrictions are not a built-in feature of Power Pages; they are typically handled at the Azure level (e.g., Azure Front Door or WAF). Option E is incorrect because web roles can be assigned to multiple users; they support many-to-many relationships between users and roles.

Answer

Authentication providers are configured in Dataverse.

Answer

IP restrictions can be set directly in Power Pages.

Answer

Web roles can only be assigned to one user at a time.

Question 5

A flow uses a 'When an item is created' trigger for a SharePoint list. The flow needs to access the item's title and the user who created it. Which dynamic values should be used?

Accepted Answer

Title and Created By. The 'When an item is created' trigger for a SharePoint list exposes dynamic values that include the item's 'Title' field and the 'Created By' field, which contains the user who created the item. These are standard columns in a SharePoint list and are automatically available as dynamic content in Power Automate when the trigger fires.

Answer

Title and Modified By

Answer

ID and Modified By

Answer

Created By and Created By Email

Question 6

Which TWO of the following are valid reasons to create multiple Power Platform environments?

Accepted Answer

To isolate data for different business units or projects.. Power Platform environments act as security and data boundaries, allowing organizations to isolate data for different business units or projects. Each environment has its own Dataverse database, which prevents data leakage and enables role-based access control tailored to specific teams or initiatives.

Answer

To increase the total storage capacity available.

Answer

To improve performance of Power Automate flows.

Answer

To reduce the cost of Power Apps licenses.

Question 7

Which TWO methods can be used to customize the appearance of a Power Pages site?

Accepted Answer

Add custom CSS through the Portal Management app. Power Pages Studio allows theme and layout changes, and custom CSS can be added via the Portal Management app. Editing Liquid templates is for advanced customization, but adding custom HTML directly is not standard. Power Automate does not affect appearance.

Answer

Add custom HTML to pages in the studio

Answer

Edit the Liquid templates directly

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow to update styles

Question 8

A marketing team wants to share a Power BI dashboard with external partners who do not have Power BI licenses. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Use Publish to web (public embedding). 'Publish to web' creates a public embed code that allows anyone on the internet to view the dashboard without requiring a Power BI license or authentication. This is the only built-in method in Power BI that enables sharing with external users who have no Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) licenses, as it bypasses the license requirement entirely by making the report publicly accessible.

Answer

Give each partner a Power BI Pro license

Answer

Embed the dashboard in a SharePoint Online page

Answer

Share the report link directly via email

Question 9

A developer creates a canvas app to display orders from Microsoft Dataverse. The app uses the gallery and data configuration shown in the exhibit. When the app runs, the gallery shows orders but the 'View Details' button does nothing when tapped. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The target screen 'OrderDetailScreen' does not exist in the app. The Navigate function in the button's OnSelect property references 'OrderDetailScreen', but if that screen does not exist in the app, the function cannot execute, causing the button to appear unresponsive. The gallery displays orders correctly, confirming the data source and Items property are functional, isolating the issue to the navigation target.

Answer

The button's OnSelect property has a syntax error

Answer

The Dataverse connection requires user authentication

Answer

The gallery's items property is misconfigured

Question 10

A Power Automate flow fails when it tries to update a row in Dataverse that was modified by another user. The error indicates a 'concurrency conflict'. What is the likely cause and best solution?

Accepted Answer

The flow lacks 'Enable Retry' setting; enable it and implement retry logic. Concurrency conflicts occur when multiple users or processes attempt to update the same Dataverse record at the same time. Power Automate flows can handle these conflicts gracefully by enabling the 'Enable Retry' setting on the action and implementing appropriate retry logic. When a conflict is detected, the flow can retry the operation after a brief delay, allowing the conflicting update to complete. Option A is correct because retry logic directly addresses the concurrency conflict. Option B is incorrect because changing triggers from asynchronous to synchronous does not resolve concurrency conflicts. Option C is incorrect because increasing timeout does not prevent or resolve the conflict. Option D is incorrect because Dataverse does not have a 'Concurrency' field that can be set to 'None'; concurrency control is built-in and cannot be disabled.

Answer

The flow uses asynchronous triggers; change to synchronous

Answer

Increase the flow's timeout duration

Answer

The Dataverse table has a 'Concurrency' field; set it to 'None'

Question 11

Match each solution type in Power Platform to its description.

Accepted Answer

Managed solution: A solution that is deployed to production environments and cannot be directly edited.. Managed solutions are production-ready and non-editable, while unmanaged solutions are for development and editable. The distractors swap these definitions.

Answer

Managed solution: A solution that is used for development and can be directly edited.

Answer

Unmanaged solution: A solution that is deployed to production environments and cannot be directly edited.

Question 12

A Power Platform administrator needs to ensure that only certain users can create Power Apps in the 'Production' environment. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Assign a custom security role in Dataverse that excludes 'Create App' privilege for the Production environment. The recommended approach to restrict app creation to specific users in a specific environment is to assign a custom security role in Dataverse that excludes the 'Create App' privilege for that environment. This leverages Dataverse's role-based security model, which allows granular control over actions like app creation at the environment level, without affecting other environments or tenant-wide settings.

Answer

Create a DLP policy that blocks app creation for unauthorized users

Answer

Disable 'Create apps' in the Power Platform admin center for the tenant

Answer

Use Microsoft Entra ID to create a role that blocks 'Create Apps'

Question 13

A hospital uses Power BI to monitor patient wait times. The data source is an on-premises SQL Server database. To ensure real-time reporting, what should the hospital deploy?

Accepted Answer

On-premises data gateway. The on-premises data gateway (Option C) is the correct choice because it acts as a bridge between Power BI in the cloud and the on-premises SQL Server database, enabling real-time or near-real-time data refreshes for dashboards. Without this gateway, Power BI cannot directly connect to on-premises data sources, making it impossible to achieve real-time reporting from the hospital's local database.

Answer

Azure Data Factory

Answer

Power BI Report Server

Answer

Power BI Desktop

Question 14

Which THREE components can be added to a Power Pages page using the Power Pages Studio interface?

Accepted Answer

Form. Lists, forms, and charts are available in Power Pages Studio.

Answer

Power BI tile

Answer

Power Automate button

Question 15

A company has a legacy on-premises SQL Server database and wants to build a Power BI report that refreshes daily. However, the database is behind a firewall. What should they use to securely access the data?

Accepted Answer

An on-premises data gateway. An on-premises data gateway is the correct solution because it acts as a secure bridge between on-premises data sources (like SQL Server behind a firewall) and cloud services such as Power BI. The gateway encrypts data in transit and allows scheduled refresh without opening inbound ports in the firewall, using outbound connections to Azure Service Bus.

Answer

Power Automate with SQL connector

Answer

Microsoft Dataverse

Answer

A VPN connection to the database
