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
✓
Disable ‘Share with external users’ in the Power Platform admin center tenant settings
Disabling 'Share with external users' in the Power Platform admin center tenant settings is the most direct and comprehensive way to prevent sharing canvas apps with external users across all environments. Option A is incorrect because environment-level sharing settings can be overridden by tenant settings, and external sharing control is at tenant level. Option C is incorrect because assigning a custom security role that denies the 'Share' privilege may not explicitly prevent external sharing and is less comprehensive than the tenant-level setting. Option D is incorrect because DLP policies control connectors and data flows, not sharing permissions, so they do not prevent sharing apps with external users.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set environment-level sharing to ‘Only specific security groups’
Why it's wrong here
This does not prevent external user sharing; external sharing is controlled at the tenant level.
- ✓
Disable ‘Share with external users’ in the Power Platform admin center tenant settings
Why this is correct
This setting explicitly blocks sharing canvas apps and other resources with external users.
- ✗
Assign a custom security role that denies the ‘Share’ privilege
Why it's wrong here
Even without share privilege, an admin or owner with elevated role could still share externally.
- ✗
Create a Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy that blocks connectors used by external users
Why it's wrong here
DLP policies control connector usage, not sharing permissions.
