PL-900 Practice Test 40 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A healthcare organization uses Power Automate to process patient intake forms. The flow retrieves data from a Microsoft Forms response, creates a record in a Microsoft Dataverse table, and sends a confirmation email. The organization needs to ensure that if the Dataverse record creation fails, the flow retries the operation up to three times before sending an error notification. What should they configure?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Configure the Dataverse action's retry policy to a fixed interval with a count of 3, and add a 'Configure run after' on a subsequent action to send an error notification if the action fails.. The Dataverse action supports a built-in retry policy that can be configured to retry a specified number of times with a chosen interval. Setting it to a fixed interval with a count of 3 ensures up to three retries. To send an error notification after all retries fail, you add a subsequent action with 'Configure run after' set to run only if the Dataverse action fails. This leverages native error handling and meets the requirement without custom loops.

Answer

Use a 'Do until' loop to retry the Dataverse action until it succeeds or three attempts are made, then send an error notification.

Answer

Wrap the Dataverse action in a 'Scope' and set its retry policy to 3, then add a parallel branch to send an error notification.

Answer

Set the 'Retry Policy' on the Dataverse action to 'Exponential' with a count of 3.

Question 2

A small retail chain wants to analyze sales data from its point-of-sale system and create interactive dashboards that show trends by store and product category. The company has business analysts who are familiar with Excel but not with programming. Which Power Platform service should the company use?

Accepted Answer

Power BI. Power BI is designed for business analysts to connect to data, model it, and build interactive reports and dashboards. Its familiar, Excel-like authoring experience lowers the learning curve for users without programming skills. By using Power BI, the retail chain can analyze point-of-sale data and visualize trends by store and product category, which is exactly the analytical outcome described.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power Apps

Question 3

A financial services firm is evaluating Microsoft Power Platform to reduce manual work in its loan processing department. The IT governance team wants to understand which capabilities are native to the platform itself, rather than requiring separate third-party tools. Which two capabilities are provided by Microsoft Power Platform? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Creating automated workflows that respond to events and approvals. Microsoft Power Platform natively includes Power Apps for low-code canvas and model-driven applications and Power Automate for event-driven and approval-based workflows. These two capabilities directly address the loan processing department's need to replace manual steps. Database hosting, virtual machines, and productivity services belong to other Microsoft cloud offerings and are accessed through connectors rather than being platform-native features.

Answer

Hosting virtual machines that run legacy loan processing software

Answer

Providing a relational database engine with built-in backup and disaster recovery

Answer

Delivering email, calendaring, and team chat as integrated productivity services

Question 4

The exhibit shows a JSON snippet used to create a Power Platform environment via the Power Platform API. The administrator runs the script but the environment is created with the default language and currency instead of the specified values. What is the most likely reason?

Accepted Answer

The JSON syntax is invalid because of the empty securityGroupId.. The JSON snippet uses an empty GUID for 'securityGroupId' (all zeros). In the Power Platform API, an empty or invalid GUID in this field can cause the entire Dataverse settings block to be ignored, resulting in the environment being created with default language and currency. Option A correctly identifies this syntax issue. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because the API version, environment name, and location are valid.

Answer

The API version used does not support specifying language and currency.

Answer

The environment name "ContosoSales" is already in use.

Answer

The location "eastus" is not a valid Azure region for Power Platform.

Question 5

A Power Platform administrator is configuring a new environment for a team that will use both Power Apps and Power Automate. The administrator needs to ensure that the team can only use a specific set of connectors and that data cannot be shared between certain connectors. Which two actions should the administrator take? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Apply the DLP policy to the environment so that it enforces the connector restrictions for all apps and flows within it.. To restrict connector usage and prevent data sharing between certain connectors, the administrator must create a DLP policy that defines connector groups and blocks cross-group usage, and then apply that policy to the environment. These two actions together enforce the desired governance. Other actions, such as assigning roles or setting region, do not address connector-level restrictions or data flow control.

Answer

Configure the environment's security group to include only the team members who need access.

Answer

Use the Power Platform admin center to set the environment's region to a specific geography.

Answer

Assign the Environment Maker security role to all team members.

Question 6

A Power Platform administrator at Contoso manages a production environment that contains several mission-critical Power Apps canvas apps. The administrator wants to ensure that any change made to an app in this environment is recorded and can be traced back to the user who made it, for audit purposes. Which feature should the administrator enable to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Environment-level activity logging for app and flow modifications, viewable in the Power Platform admin center. Environment activity logging in the Power Platform admin center records environment-level operations such as app and flow creation, modification, and deletion, along with the acting user. This gives the administrator the traceability needed to audit who changed mission-critical apps. Dataverse auditing, DLP policies, and managed environment sharing restrictions address data records, connector governance, and sharing scope respectively, not app definition change history.

Answer

Managed environments with the 'Share' restriction enabled for the production environment

Answer

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention policies scoped to the environment's connectors

Answer

Dataverse auditing at the environment level, configured on the tables used by the apps

Question 7

A Power Platform administrator needs to provide a team of makers with a shared environment that includes a common set of connectors and a preconfigured Microsoft Dataverse database. The makers should be able to collaborate on apps and flows without affecting other environments. What should the administrator create?

Accepted Answer

A new environment with a Dataverse database and assign the makers the Environment Maker security role.. To provide a shared, isolated workspace with Dataverse, the administrator should create a new environment and provision a Dataverse database. Assigning the Environment Maker security role enables team members to create and collaborate on apps and flows within that environment. This approach keeps their work separate from other environments and ensures they have the necessary permissions.

Answer

A new Power Platform environment with no database and share the default environment with the team.

Answer

A new Power Apps solution that includes all required connectors and share it with the team.

Answer

A new security group in Microsoft Entra ID and assign the team to it.

Question 8

A company has a production environment containing a model-driven app used by 400 sales staff. The administrator wants to review who accessed the app in the last 30 days and which users were inactive, without enabling any paid auditing features. Which tool should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

The Power Platform admin center Analytics section for the environment, selecting the Power Apps report. Environment analytics in the Power Platform admin center is the built-in, no-extra-cost way to see app usage and inactive users for a specific environment. It reports which apps are used, how often, and by whom, so the administrator can identify inactive sales staff without enabling paid auditing or digging through compliance tooling.

Answer

Microsoft Purview audit log search filtered to the Dataverse workload

Answer

Environment-level data loss prevention policy reports in the Power Platform admin center

Answer

The Microsoft 365 admin center Reports dashboard, Service usage section

Question 9

An administrator is setting up a new Power Platform environment for a department. The department requires that all users in the environment use only approved connectors, and that data cannot be shared between the approved connectors and any unapproved connectors. What should the administrator configure?

Accepted Answer

A data loss prevention (DLP) policy that classifies connectors into Business, Non-Business, and Blocked groups.. Data loss prevention policies in Power Platform are designed to classify connectors and control data flow between them. By assigning approved connectors to the Business group and unapproved ones to Blocked, the policy ensures that only approved connectors are used and that data cannot be shared with unapproved ones. This is the correct and only native mechanism to enforce such restrictions.

Answer

A Power Automate flow that monitors connector usage and alerts the administrator.

Answer

Environment security roles that restrict which connectors users can access.

Answer

Microsoft Entra ID conditional access policies that block unapproved connectors.

Question 10

A Power Platform administrator is reviewing the capacity of a production environment. The environment has a database size of 2 GB, file storage of 10 GB, and log storage of 1 GB. The tenant has a total of 10 GB of database capacity, 50 GB of file capacity, and 2 GB of log capacity. The administrator notices that the production environment is consuming a disproportionate amount of database capacity. Which action should the administrator take to identify the largest tables in the environment?

Accepted Answer

In the Power Platform admin center, select the environment, then go to Analytics > Dataverse, and view the 'Table size' report.. The Power Platform admin center includes Dataverse analytics that provide detailed storage usage reports. The 'Table size' report specifically lists each table and its size, enabling administrators to pinpoint which tables are consuming the most database capacity. This is the intended and supported method for storage analysis at the table level.

Answer

Use the Microsoft Dataverse API to retrieve metadata for all tables and calculate their sizes using the 'RetrieveTotalRecordCount' message.

Answer

In the Power Apps maker portal, open each table and check the 'Table properties' for the 'Storage size' field.

Answer

Run a SQL query against the Dataverse database using the TDS endpoint to select table names and their sizes from the sys.tables view.

Question 11

A canvas app uses a SQL Server database as its data source. The database is hosted on-premises and is not exposed to the internet. Users report that the app fails to load data. What must be configured to allow the canvas app to connect to the on-premises SQL Server?

Accepted Answer

On-premises data gateway. To connect a canvas app to an on-premises SQL Server, you must install and configure the on-premises data gateway. The gateway creates a secure channel from the Power Platform cloud services to the on-premises network, allowing the app to query and write data. Without it, the cloud-hosted app cannot reach the internal database.

Answer

VPN connection from the user's device

Answer

Azure ExpressRoute

Answer

Azure AD Application Proxy

Question 12

A Power Platform administrator needs to ensure that all Power Automate cloud flows in a specific environment can only use connectors approved by the security team, and that flows combining a blocked connector with any other connector are prevented from running. Which mechanism should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

A Data Loss Prevention policy that classifies connectors as Business, Non-Business, or Blocked. Data Loss Prevention policies are the designated mechanism for connector governance in Power Platform. By grouping connectors into Business, Non-Business, and Blocked categories, the admin can block a specific connector entirely and prevent flows from combining Business and Non-Business connectors. Security roles, connector consent, and managed environment solution checker settings address permissions, consent, and quality respectively, not connector combination rules.

Answer

Managed environment settings that enforce the solution checker before flows can be shared

Answer

Connector consent settings in the Power Platform admin center that require admin approval for new connectors

Answer

Environment security roles that deny the Flow creation privilege to all makers

Question 13

A Power Platform administrator needs to monitor the usage of Power Apps and Power Automate across the tenant to identify which environments are consuming the most resources. Which tool should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Power Platform admin center. The Power Platform admin center includes built-in analytics and usage reports that show how Power Apps and Power Automate are being used across environments. Administrators can access these reports to see metrics like active users, app launches, and flow runs, helping identify environments with high resource consumption. Other tools like Microsoft 365 admin center or Azure Monitor do not provide this specific Power Platform usage data out of the box.

Answer

Power BI

Answer

Microsoft 365 admin center

Answer

Azure Monitor

Question 14

A Power Platform administrator needs to manage user access to a specific environment. The administrator wants to allow a group of users to create apps and flows in that environment, but restrict them from modifying environment settings or managing other users. Which two actions should the administrator perform? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Add the users to the environment's Maker security group (if using security groups).. To allow users to create apps and flows without granting administrative rights, the administrator should assign the Environment Maker role. This can be done directly or by adding users to the environment's Maker security group if security groups are used. These actions provide the necessary creation permissions while adhering to least privilege, unlike Environment Admin or tenant-level roles.

Answer

Assign the Environment Admin role to the group of users for the environment.

Answer

Assign the Power Platform Administrator role to the group of users.

Answer

Ensure the users have the Common Data Service User security role in the environment.

Question 15

A sales team needs a mobile-friendly app to view and update customer information stored in Microsoft Dataverse. The app should be generated automatically from the data model and provide a consistent interface across devices. Which type of Power Apps app should they create?

Accepted Answer

Model-driven app. Model-driven apps are built on Dataverse and automatically generate a responsive UI from the data model, including forms, views, and dashboards. They are ideal for complex business processes and provide a consistent experience across devices. This makes them the correct choice for a sales team needing a mobile-friendly app generated from data.
