PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
A multinational corporation uses Power Platform extensively. They have multiple environments: DEV, TEST, UAT, STAGING, and PROD. A developer accidentally published a Power App that connects to a SQL Server database using an unapproved connector in the PROD environment. The organization has strict data governance policies that require all connections to use approved connectors only. The admin needs to block this connector in PROD while still allowing it in other environments. What should the admin do?
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 an environment-level DLP policy for PROD that blocks the connector.
Environment-level DLP policies allow blocking connectors in specific environments. The admin should create an environment-level DLP policy for PROD that blocks the unapproved connector. This overrides the tenant-level policy that might allow it elsewhere.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Create a tenant-level DLP policy that blocks the connector for all environments.
Why it's wrong here
This would block the connector in all environments, which is not desired.
- ✗
Remove the developer's permissions to the PROD environment.
Why it's wrong here
This does not block the connector; the app would still work.
- ✗
Delete the Power App from PROD.
Why it's wrong here
This removes the app but does not prevent similar issues in the future.
- ✓
Create an environment-level DLP policy for PROD that blocks the connector.
Why this is correct
Environment-level policies can block connectors in specific environments without affecting others.
