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
✓
Environment Admin role.
The Environment Admin role allows a user to manage all aspects of a specific environment, including security and settings, without tenant-wide privileges. Option B, Dynamics 365 Administrator, is a broader role that includes Dynamics 365 apps and is not specific to Power Platform environment management. Option C, System Customizer, only allows customization of system settings and forms, not full environment management. Option D, Power Platform Administrator, is a tenant-wide role that grants administrative access to all environments, which is more than what is needed for delegation to regional leads.
