PL-900 Practice Question: Allow customers to view their order history on a…
A company wants to allow customers to view their order history on a Power Pages site. Customers must log in to see their own orders only. Which feature should be used to enforce data security?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse authentication (logging in) with authorization (data filtering), assuming that requiring a login (Option D) is sufficient to secure data, when in fact row-level security requires explicit entity permissions.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure entity permissions for the Orders table and assign to a web role.
Entity permissions in Power Pages allow you to define granular access rights (Create, Read, Update, Delete) for specific Dataverse tables. By configuring entity permissions for the Orders table and assigning them to a web role that is associated with the authenticated user, you ensure that customers can only see their own orders based on the relationship between the Contact record and the Orders table. This is the correct approach because it enforces row-level security tied to the authenticated user's identity.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure entity permissions for the Orders table and assign to a web role.
Why this is correct
Entity permissions allow record-level security based on user identity.
- ✗
Enable column-level security on the Orders table.
Why it's wrong here
Column-level security is not directly applicable in Power Pages.
- ✗
Use a custom authentication provider to filter data.
Why it's wrong here
Authentication provider only handles login, not data filtering.
- ✗
Set page permissions to require authentication.
Why it's wrong here
Page permissions only restrict page access, not data within the page.
