PL-900 Practice Question: Manage the Microsoft Power Platform environment
Which TWO settings can you configure in a Power Platform environment to control data loss prevention?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'connector sharing settings' (which control access and sharing permissions) with DLP policies (which control data flow and connector grouping), leading them to incorrectly select Option A.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Default action for connectors
The 'Default action for connectors' setting in a Power Platform environment allows administrators to define the default behavior (e.g., Block, Allow, or Audit) for connectors that are not explicitly covered by a DLP policy. This setting directly controls data loss prevention by preventing data from being shared with unmanaged or risky connectors. Option E is correct because environment-specific DLP policies enable granular control over which connectors can be used together, preventing data from flowing between business and non-business connectors within that environment.
