PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
Which THREE are valid components of a Microsoft Power Platform environment?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse shared Microsoft 365 resources (like Groups or Power BI workspaces) with Power Platform environment components, but only items directly managed within the environment's scope—such as custom connectors, Dataverse databases, and Power Automate flows—are valid components.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Custom connector
A custom connector is a valid component of a Microsoft Power Platform environment because it allows you to extend the platform by creating your own API connectors to external services. Custom connectors are stored and managed within an environment, enabling makers to build apps and flows that interact with systems not covered by out-of-the-box connectors.
