Same concept, more angles
1 more way this is tested on PL-900
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. An organization plans to deploy a Power Platform solution that uses Dataverse as the data source. They need to ensure that users can only see records from their own department. What should they implement?
hard- A.Power Automate to filter records
- B.Audit logging
- C.Column-level security profiles
- ✓ D.Business units and security roles with team-based access
Why D: Business units and security roles with team-based access are the correct implementation because Dataverse uses a hierarchical security model where business units define the organizational structure and security roles control record-level permissions. By configuring business units per department and assigning users to teams within those units, you can enforce that users only see records belonging to their own department through record ownership and sharing rules.
