The correct answer is field-level security, which should be configured to show only assigned leads in a model-driven app. This security feature works by setting permissions on the 'Assigned To' field, allowing you to hide that field from users who should not see it, thereby filtering records based on individual assignment rather than broader access controls. On the Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals PL-900 exam, this question tests your understanding of the layered security model, where field-level security provides the most granular control at the column level, distinct from role-based access (which controls entity access) and business unit security (which restricts by organizational hierarchy). A common trap is confusing field-level security with sharing or role-based access, but remember: field-level security is the only option that can hide a specific field like 'Assigned To' from certain users. Memory tip: think "field = filter" — if you need to control visibility of a single column to restrict records, field-level security is your go-to.
PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Apps Practice Question
This PL-900 practice question tests your understanding of demonstrate the capabilities of power apps. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company has a Power Apps model-driven app for sales. Sales reps need to see their assigned leads only. Which security feature should be configured?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use field-level security to set permissions on the 'Assigned To' field
Option D is correct because field-level security allows hiding the assigned to field from users who shouldn't see it. Option A is wrong because sharing is for specific records, not all. Option B is wrong because role-based access controls access to entities, not fields. Option C is wrong because business unit security restricts by business unit, not by individual.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
Configure business unit security to isolate each rep's data
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Business units are for hierarchical separation, not per-rep.
✓
Use field-level security to set permissions on the 'Assigned To' field
Why this is correct
Correct: Field-level security hides the field, preventing reps from seeing others' assignments.

Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Security roles control entity access, not record-level filtering.
✗
Share the app with each rep individually
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Sharing is for apps, not data security.

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
