PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
A Power Platform administrator needs to restrict data loss prevention (DLP) policies to prevent sensitive data from being shared with non-approved connectors. Which scope should the administrator apply?
⚠ Common exam trap
Test-takers frequently confuse environment-level with tenant-level scope, assuming that a single tenant-wide policy is sufficient, but the question specifically requires restricting only certain environments, making environment-level the precise answer.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Environment-level
Environment-level DLP policies allow administrators to apply data loss prevention rules to specific environments, ensuring that sensitive data is not shared with non-approved connectors within that environment. This granular control is necessary when different environments have different compliance requirements, such as separating development from production data flows.
