PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
A small business wants to adopt Power Apps to create a custom inventory management app. They have a single Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscription which includes Power Apps and Power Automate capabilities. The IT manager, who is not a dedicated administrator, needs to set up the environment. They want to ensure that the app's data is stored securely and that only authorized employees can access it. The IT manager plans to create a new environment for the app. What should the IT manager do first to ensure proper governance and security?
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
✓
Use the default environment and configure data loss prevention (DLP) policies to restrict data sharing.
Because the organization has a single Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscription, the default environment already exists. Creating a new environment is not necessary and could complicate management. The best course is to use the default environment with appropriate data policies and sharing settings.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Purchase additional Power Apps licenses for each user before creating the environment.
Why it's wrong here
Business Basic includes Power Apps capabilities; additional licenses are not required.
- ✓
Use the default environment and configure data loss prevention (DLP) policies to restrict data sharing.
Why this is correct
The default environment is sufficient; DLP policies help secure data.
- ✗
Create a trial environment to test the app before deploying to production.
Why it's wrong here
A trial environment expires; it's not suitable for a production app.
- ✗
Create a new production environment in the Power Platform Admin Center.
Why it's wrong here
Creating a new environment is unnecessary and adds complexity; the default environment can be used.
