PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
A Power Platform administrator is configuring a data loss prevention (DLP) policy for a production environment. The policy must block the use of the SharePoint connector but allow the use of the SQL Server connector. The administrator creates a policy and assigns it to the environment. However, users can still use the SharePoint connector. What is the most likely reason?
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
✓
A tenant-level DLP policy allows SharePoint and is set to a higher priority.
Data loss prevention (DLP) policies can be configured at both the tenant level and the environment level. When both levels have policies, the tenant-level policy takes precedence if it is set to a higher priority. In this scenario, a tenant-level DLP policy that allows the SharePoint connector would override the environment-level policy that blocks it, explaining why users can still use SharePoint. Option A is incorrect because the policy was assigned to the environment. Option B is incorrect because user roles do not bypass DLP policies. Option D is incorrect because saved and published policies take effect immediately.
