PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
You are a Power Automate administrator. A user reports that a cloud flow stopped working after you updated the environment's data loss prevention (DLP) policy. The flow uses the SharePoint and Outlook connectors. The new DLP policy only allows these connectors in the 'Business' group, but the flow was previously working. What is the most likely cause of the failure?
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
✓
The DLP policy now assigns the two connectors to different groups
If connectors are in different DLP groups, flows that combine them may fail. The policy change likely moved connectors to different groups or split them. If both are in the same group ('Business'), the flow should work unless they were moved to separate groups. The description says the policy only allows them in 'Business' group, implying they might have been in 'Non-Business' before. But the most common issue is that connectors were assigned to different groups (e.g., SharePoint in Business, Outlook in Non-Business) which is not allowed. The flow worked before the update, so the update likely misaligned the groups.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The flow owner's license expired
Why it's wrong here
License issue would cause different errors, not likely related to DLP update.
- ✗
The flow is using a premium connector that requires a license
Why it's wrong here
SharePoint and Outlook are standard connectors, not premium.
- ✗
The SharePoint site was deleted
Why it's wrong here
Site deletion would give a specific error, not a general flow failure after DLP change.
- ✓
The DLP policy now assigns the two connectors to different groups
Why this is correct
When connectors are in different groups, flows combining them are blocked.
