PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
A company uses Power Automate flows that connect to SharePoint and Microsoft Entra ID. The administrator needs to ensure that the flows can access data only from approved data sources. What should the administrator configure?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse DLP policies with SharePoint permissions or connector sharing, thinking that restricting user access to SharePoint sites is sufficient to control flow data sources, when in fact DLP policies are the only mechanism that can restrict which connectors a flow can use at the environment level.
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
✓
Create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that restricts connectors to approved data sources
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies in the Power Platform allow administrators to control which connectors can be used together in flows and apps, effectively restricting flows to approved data sources like SharePoint and Microsoft Entra ID. By classifying connectors as Business or Non-Business, DLP policies prevent unauthorized data sharing between environments, which directly addresses the requirement to limit data access to approved sources.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Define SharePoint site permissions for the flows
Why it's wrong here
SharePoint permissions only apply to SharePoint, not other data sources.
- ✓
Create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that restricts connectors to approved data sources
Why this is correct
DLP policies control which connectors can be used together and with what endpoints.
- ✗
Configure data policies in Power Apps settings
Why it's wrong here
Data policies are the same as DLP policies, but the answer is too vague.
- ✗
Set connector sharing permissions to limit access
Why it's wrong here
Sharing permissions control user access, not data sources.
