PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
A company uses Microsoft Power Platform and requires that all environment creation requests go through an approval process. The security team wants to prevent non-admins from creating trial environments. What should the administrator configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse DLP policies with environment lifecycle controls, assuming DLP can block environment creation, when in reality DLP only governs data connectors and policies across environments, not provisioning actions.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
In Power Platform Admin Center, set 'Disable trial environments created by non-admins' to Yes
The Power Platform Admin Center provides a dedicated tenant-level setting called 'Disable trial environments created by non-admins' that, when set to 'Yes', prevents users without administrative privileges from creating trial environments. This directly addresses the security team's requirement to block non-admins from creating trial environments, as it enforces an approval-based control at the environment creation level.
