The user is denied access because the Partner role has only Read permission on the Proposal table, so the create action is not allowed. In Power Pages, web role permissions are granular and table-specific; a role like Partner must explicitly include Write permission to allow create, edit, or delete operations. Since the Partner role only grants Read on the Proposal table, any attempt to create a new record is blocked, regardless of the role’s broader Write access on the Invoice table. This question tests your understanding of how Power Pages web role permissions enforce table-level security, a common scenario on the Microsoft Power Platform Fundamentals PL-900 exam. A frequent trap is assuming that a role with mixed permissions across tables inherits broader access, but each table’s permission set is independent. Remember the memory tip: “Read lets you see, Write lets you be”—if a role lacks Write on a table, creation is denied.
PL-900 Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Pages Practice Question
This PL-900 practice question tests your understanding of demonstrate the capabilities of power pages. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Refer to the exhibit. A Power Pages site has a web role called 'Partner' with permissions to read the Proposal table and read/write the Invoice table. A user assigned the Partner role attempts to create a new record in the Proposal table. What will happen?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The user is denied access because the Partner role has only Read permission on the Proposal table
Option B is correct because the Partner role only has Read permission on the Proposal table, so create (Write) is not allowed. Option A is wrong because the role exists. Option C is wrong because the write is not allowed on Proposal. Option D is wrong because there is no global permission that would override this.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
