PL-900 Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment Practice Test 9 — 15 Questions

Question 1

A Power Platform administrator is configuring a new environment for a team that will use both Power Apps and Power Automate. The team needs to access data from SharePoint and SQL Server. The administrator must ensure that data loss prevention (DLP) policies are applied to prevent combining business and non-business data. Which two actions should the administrator perform? (Choose two.)

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

Accepted Answer

Ensure the DLP policy is applied to the environment where the team will build apps and flows.. To prevent combining business and non-business data, the administrator must classify the relevant connectors into groups and apply the DLP policy to the specific environment. Classifying SharePoint and SQL Server as Business allows them to be used together, and scoping the policy to the environment ensures enforcement. The other actions do not contribute to DLP enforcement.

Answer

Assign the Environment Admin role to the team members.

Answer

Create a custom connector that combines SharePoint and SQL Server and classify it as Business.

Answer

Create a DLP policy that classifies SharePoint and SQL Server connectors as Non-Business.

Question 2

Your organization uses Power Automate to automate business processes. A flow that runs daily fails intermittently with 'HTTP 429 - Too Many Requests' errors. What should you do to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

Configure retry policies with exponential backoff in the flow actions.. HTTP 429 responses indicate the flow is hitting Power Automate's service protection limits (throttling). The correct mitigation is to configure retry policies with exponential backoff on the actions that call the throttled connector, so the flow retries after increasing delays instead of failing immediately. This aligns with Microsoft's documented guidance for handling 429 errors.

Answer

Increase the frequency of the flow to run more often.

Answer

Change the flow trigger from a schedule to an instant trigger.

Answer

Set up an on-premises data gateway to bypass the throttling limits.

Question 3

Your organization has a Power Apps portal that allows external users to submit support tickets. You need to ensure that only authenticated external users from specific domains can access the portal. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Configure the portal to use Microsoft Entra ID authentication and set up domain restrictions.. Power Apps portals can be configured to use Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) as the identity provider, and within the portal settings you can restrict sign-in to users from specific domains. This ensures that only authenticated external users whose email domain matches the allowed list can access the portal, meeting the requirement without relying on IP filtering or obscurity.

Answer

Create a data loss prevention (DLP) policy that blocks external users.

Answer

Restrict access to the portal by IP address using a web application firewall.

Answer

Share the portal URL only with users from the allowed domains.

Question 4

Your organization has multiple Power Platform environments. You need to ensure that a specific connector (e.g., SQL Server) is blocked in the production environment but allowed in the development environment. What should you configure?

Accepted Answer

Create a data loss prevention (DLP) policy and assign it to the production environment.. Data loss prevention (DLP) policies in Power Platform allow administrators to classify connectors as Blocked, Business Data Only, or No Business Data Allowed. By creating a DLP policy and assigning it to the production environment, you can specifically block the SQL Server connector in that environment while leaving it available in the development environment, which is not assigned the same policy.

Answer

Set the connector's API rate limits to zero in the production environment.

Answer

Modify the connector's sharing settings in the environment.

Answer

Configure environment-level security roles to restrict connector usage.

Question 5

Your organization uses Power Virtual Agents (now Copilot Studio) for customer service. You need to ensure that the bot can access customer data from a Dataverse table that contains sensitive information. What is the best approach to secure the data?

Accepted Answer

Assign appropriate security roles and field-level security to the bot's service principal.. Power Virtual Agents (Copilot Studio) uses a service principal to authenticate with Dataverse. By assigning appropriate security roles and field-level security to that service principal, you can grant the bot granular, least-privilege access to only the necessary customer data, ensuring sensitive information is protected while still enabling the bot to function.

Answer

Configure a data loss prevention (DLP) policy to block the bot from accessing the table.

Answer

Use the bot's authentication settings to require multi-factor authentication.

Answer

Restrict access to the environment to only the bot's service account.

Question 6

Which THREE actions can a Power Platform administrator perform in the Power Platform admin center to manage environments?

Accepted Answer

Create a new environment. The Power Platform admin center provides administrators with the ability to create new environments, which are containers for managing apps, flows, and data. This action is a core administrative task for organizing and isolating resources within a tenant.

Answer

Create a new Microsoft Entra ID security group

Answer

Install a managed solution from AppSource

Question 7

Which TWO of the following are valid environment types in Power Platform?

Accepted Answer

Production. Production and Sandbox are both valid environment types in Power Platform. Production environments are intended for live, end-user applications and data, while Sandbox environments are isolated, non-production environments used for development, testing, and training. Both support the full set of Power Platform capabilities, including Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents.

Answer

Development

Question 8

A Power Platform administrator notices that a production environment has exceeded its storage quota. The administrator needs to free up storage without impacting active solutions. Which action should the administrator take first?

Accepted Answer

Analyze storage by entity and delete unused custom tables. Analyzing storage by entity allows the administrator to identify which custom tables consume the most space, and deleting unused custom tables directly frees up storage without affecting active solutions. This is the recommended first step in the Power Platform admin center, as it targets the root cause of storage overage while preserving production functionality.

Answer

Increase the storage quota

Answer

Remove the environment and create a new one

Answer

Delete all audit logs older than 30 days

Question 9

A company is deploying Power Virtual Agents (now Copilot Studio) chatbots across multiple departments. Each department needs its own environment to manage chatbots independently. However, the company wants to share a common set of entities and workflows across all environments. Which approach should the administrator take?

Accepted Answer

Create a separate environment per department and deploy managed solutions containing the common components. Managed solutions allow you to package common components (entities, workflows) and deploy them to multiple environments, ensuring consistency while maintaining departmental isolation. Each department gets its own environment for independent chatbot management, and the shared components are installed via managed solutions that cannot be modified, preserving the common baseline.

Answer

Create a single environment for all departments and use security roles to isolate chatbots

Answer

Use Power Apps component library to share components across environments

Answer

Create a shared environment for common components and link each department environment to it

Question 10

A Power Platform administrator is configuring a new environment for a team that will use both Power Apps and Power Automate. The team needs to access data from SharePoint and SQL Server. The administrator must ensure that data loss prevention (DLP) policies are applied to prevent combining business and non-business data. Which two actions should the administrator perform? (Choose two.)

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

Accepted Answer

Classify SharePoint as Business and all third-party services as Blocked. DLP policies in Power Platform allow administrators to classify connectors into Business, Non-Business, and Blocked categories. By classifying SharePoint as Business and all third-party services as Blocked, the administrator ensures that no flow can send data from SharePoint to unsanctioned third-party connectors, as blocked connectors cannot be used in any flow that also uses a Business connector. This directly enforces the security team's requirement to prevent data exfiltration to unsanctioned services.

Answer

Create a policy that only applies to non-production environments

Answer

Classify SharePoint as Business and all third-party services as Non-Business

Answer

Classify all connectors as Blocked

Question 11

An organization wants to enable Microsoft Copilot Studio (formerly Power Virtual Agents) to answer questions from employees about company policies. The chatbot must only use internal company documents stored in SharePoint as its knowledge source. Which configuration should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Add a SharePoint knowledge source in Copilot Studio and configure authentication to use the company's Microsoft Entra ID. Microsoft Copilot Studio allows administrators to add SharePoint as a knowledge source directly, enabling the chatbot to retrieve answers from internal documents without custom development. Configuring authentication with Microsoft Entra ID ensures that only authorized users can access the company policies, maintaining security and compliance.

Answer

Enable the 'Use generative AI' feature in the Power Platform admin center

Answer

Deploy a custom connector to SharePoint

Answer

Create a Power Automate flow to fetch data from SharePoint and pass it to the chatbot

Question 12

An administrator needs to prevent users from creating Power Apps outside of the approved environment (Production). The company has a Development and a Production environment. Users should only be able to create apps in Development. Which configuration should the administrator use?

Accepted Answer

Assign the Environment Maker role to users only in the Development environment. The Environment Maker role grants permission to create apps within a specific environment. By assigning this role only to the Development environment, users can create apps there but are blocked from creating them in Production, where they lack the role. This directly enforces the requirement without affecting other permissions.

Answer

Assign the Environment Maker role to users in both environments

Answer

Create a DLP policy that blocks app creation in Production

Answer

Remove the Environment Maker role from all users in all environments

Question 13

A company has a Power Platform environment that contains several unmanaged solutions. The administrator wants to promote a solution to production. Which action should the administrator take to ensure the solution can be deployed to other environments?

Accepted Answer

Export the solution as a managed solution. Exporting a solution as a managed solution is the correct action because managed solutions are designed for deployment to production and other non-development environments. They prevent direct customization of components, enforce solution layering, and allow for proper lifecycle management, including upgrades and patching. Unmanaged solutions, by contrast, are intended for development and cannot be reliably deployed to production without breaking the component ownership model.

Answer

Use the 'Backup' feature in the admin center

Answer

Apply a solution patch and export it

Answer

Clone the solution and export as unmanaged

Question 14

A company wants to use Microsoft Copilot Studio to build a chatbot that helps employees reset their passwords. Which TWO components are required? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Power Automate to connect to the password reset system. Power Automate is required to create a flow that connects the chatbot to the password reset system, enabling automated execution of the reset process. Without this integration, the chatbot cannot perform the backend action of resetting the password.

Answer

Power Virtual Agents (classic)

Answer

Power Apps to create the user interface

Answer

AI Builder to process natural language

Question 15

A company is implementing Microsoft Power Platform and needs to ensure that only licensed users can create environments. Which setting should be enabled?

Accepted Answer

Enable 'Create environments' in the Power Platform admin center tenant settings. The 'Create environments' setting in the Power Platform admin center tenant settings is the specific control that restricts environment creation to licensed users only. By default, this setting is enabled for all users, but administrators can disable it to limit creation to users with a Power Platform license (e.g., Power Apps per user plan, Power Automate per user plan, or Dynamics 365 licenses). This ensures compliance with licensing requirements and prevents unlicensed users from consuming capacity.

Answer

Enable 'Create database' in the tenant settings

Answer

Enable 'Create solutions' in the Power Platform admin center

Answer

Enable 'Create apps' in the Power Platform admin center
