PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
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?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that audit logging tools are needed to see who used an app, when usage analytics in the admin center already surface that information.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
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 analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Microsoft Purview audit log search filtered to the Dataverse workload
Why it's wrong here
Purview audit search can return Dataverse activity records, but it requires auditing to be enabled and appropriate licensing, and it is designed for compliance investigations rather than at-a-glance app usage and inactive-user reporting. It also does not present a per-app usage summary with inactive user counts.
- ✓
The Power Platform admin center Analytics section for the environment, selecting the Power Apps report
Why this is correct
The Analytics area in the Power Platform admin center provides ready-made usage reports per environment, including which apps were opened, by how many users, and which users were inactive, with no paid add-on required. It directly answers the access and inactivity question for the production environment.
- ✗
Environment-level data loss prevention policy reports in the Power Platform admin center
Why it's wrong here
Data loss prevention policies govern which connectors can be used together in an environment; they do not record or report who opened a model-driven app. Reviewing DLP policy reports would show connector classification and policy violations, not user access or inactivity.
- ✗
The Microsoft 365 admin center Reports dashboard, Service usage section
Why it's wrong here
The Microsoft 365 admin center reports cover services such as Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams, not per-environment Power Apps adoption. It cannot break usage down by a specific Power Platform environment or identify which sales users never opened the model-driven app.
