PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
An administrator needs to prevent users from creating Power Apps outside of the approved environment (Production). The company has a Development and a Production environment. Users should only be able to create apps in Development. Which configuration should the administrator use?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse DLP policies with environment-level permissions, incorrectly assuming DLP can block app creation, when in fact DLP only restricts data connectors and sharing, not the ability to create apps.
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
✓
Assign the Environment Maker role to users only in the Development environment
The Environment Maker role grants permission to create apps within a specific environment. By assigning this role only to the Development environment, users can create apps there but are blocked from creating them in Production, where they lack the role. This directly enforces the requirement without affecting other permissions.
