PL-900 Practice Test 9 — 10 Questions

Question 1

A user reports that they cannot create a new Power App in the default environment. The administrator checks that the user has a Power Apps license, but the user still cannot create apps. What is the most likely cause?

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

Accepted Answer

The environment is not enabled for app creation. By default, the 'Create apps in canvas' and 'Create apps in model-driven' capabilities are disabled in the default environment. Even if a user has a Power Apps license, they cannot create apps unless an administrator explicitly enables app creation for that environment. This is a common environment-level setting that overrides individual licensing.

Answer

The user does not have a Power Apps license

Answer

The user does not have a mobile device

Answer

The user is using an unsupported browser

Question 2

An organization wants to manage all Power Platform environments from a single pane of glass, including capacity monitoring and assignment of user roles. Which tool should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Platform admin center. The Power Platform admin center (admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com) is the dedicated management portal for all Power Platform environments, providing a single pane of glass for tasks such as capacity monitoring (storage usage per environment), environment lifecycle management, and assignment of user roles via Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies and environment security roles. It centralizes administration across Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agents, and Dataverse, which aligns directly with the organization's requirement.

Answer

Microsoft 365 admin center

Answer

Microsoft Intune

Answer

Azure portal

Question 3

An organization uses Power Automate flows that connect to Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. They want to ensure that if a flow is accidentally deleted, it can be recovered within 30 days. What should they do?

Accepted Answer

No action needed; deleted flows are automatically retained in the recycle bin for 30 days.. Power Automate automatically retains deleted flows in the recycle bin for 30 days, with no additional configuration required. This built-in recovery mechanism applies to both cloud flows and desktop flows, allowing administrators to restore them within that window without needing backups or export policies.

Answer

Store the flow in a solution and export it regularly.

Answer

Enable version history for the flow.

Answer

Configure a backup policy in the Power Platform admin center.

Question 4

A company deploys a model-driven app that uses a custom table 'Project' with a status choice column. The app includes a business rule that shows a warning message when the status is set to 'Completed' but the 'End Date' is blank. The business rule works on the main form but not when records are updated via a Power Automate flow. Which THREE actions should the administrator take to enforce the rule regardless of update method?

Accepted Answer

Use a synchronous plug-in that runs on the Update message of the Project table.. A synchronous plug-in runs on the Update message of the Project table, executing immediately within the database transaction. This ensures the validation logic (checking that End Date is not blank when Status is 'Completed') is enforced regardless of the update method, including Power Automate flows, which bypass client-side business rules.

Answer

Configure an asynchronous workflow that runs after the update.

Answer

Modify the business rule to run on all forms.

Question 5

A manufacturing company uses Power Automate flows to process inventory updates. The flows use standard connectors. The company needs to ensure that the flows can be run by users in their own context without requiring the flow owner's credentials. Which authentication type should be used for the connections?

Accepted Answer

User-provided credentials. User-provided credentials (option B) are correct because they allow each user who runs the flow to authenticate with their own identity, enabling the flow to execute in the user's context without requiring the flow owner's credentials. This is essential when flows are shared with multiple users and need to respect individual permissions and data access.

Answer

Owner-provided credentials

Answer

Anonymous authentication

Answer

Service principal authentication

Question 6

A Power Apps app uses a canvas and connects to multiple data sources. Users complain that the app loads slowly. What is the best practice to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'ClearCollect' function to cache data in a collection. The ClearCollect function allows you to cache data from external sources into a local collection within the app. This reduces the number of round trips to the data source during user interactions, significantly improving load and response times by minimizing network latency and data source throttling.

Answer

Add more screens to distribute the load

Answer

Increase the timeout settings

Answer

Use a single data source

Question 7

A company wants to empower its field service technicians to report issues and submit photos from their mobile devices without writing any code. Which Microsoft Power Platform capability should they use?

Accepted Answer

Power Apps. Power Apps is the correct choice because it enables the creation of custom mobile apps with minimal code, allowing field service technicians to report issues and submit photos through a tailored interface. With Power Apps, you can build a canvas app that connects to data sources like SharePoint or Dataverse, providing a no-code solution for mobile data entry and image capture.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents

Answer

Power Automate

Answer

Power BI

Question 8

A global company has multiple Power Platform environments (Dev, Test, Prod) and uses Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) with solutions. The administrator needs to ensure that only tested solutions are deployed to production. What is the recommended approach?

Accepted Answer

Export the solution as managed from Dev, import to Test, then after validation, import to Prod.. Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) in Power Platform requires solutions to be exported as managed from a development environment, then imported into test for validation, and finally imported into production. This ensures that only tested, versioned components are deployed, preventing unvalidated changes from reaching production. Managed solutions also lock components in the target environment, preventing accidental modifications.

Answer

Share the solution from Dev to Test to Prod using sharing permissions.

Answer

Allow developers to make changes directly in the production environment.

Answer

Copy the Dataverse database from Dev to Prod directly.

Question 9

Your organization has a Power Apps app that uses the Microsoft Dataverse connector. Users report that the app loads slowly. You review the app and find that it loads all records from a large table (over 500,000 rows) into a gallery. What is the best action to improve performance?

Accepted Answer

Modify the gallery's Items property to use a delegable filter, such as Filter(Table, Condition).. Modifying the gallery's Items property to use a delegable filter (e.g., Filter(Table, Condition)) ensures that the query is processed server-side by Microsoft Dataverse, retrieving only the subset of records that match the condition. This avoids loading all 500,000+ rows into the client app, which is the root cause of the slow performance. Delegation allows Power Apps to offload data processing to the data source, significantly reducing network payload and client memory usage.

Answer

Increase the data row limit in the app settings.

Answer

Clear the app cache on the client devices.

Answer

Reduce the delegation limit in the environment settings.

Question 10

A company wants to automatically send an email notification when a new file is added to a SharePoint document library. Which type of trigger should be used in Power Automate?

Accepted Answer

A trigger. A trigger starts the flow when an event occurs, such as a new file being added. Option A is a condition, which is a logic step, not a trigger. Option C is a connector, which is a service connection, not a trigger. Option D is an action, which is a step that performs an operation, not a trigger.

Answer

A condition

Answer

A connector

Answer

An action
