PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
You are designing a Power Automate flow that processes sensitive employee data from Dataverse. The flow must run in a secure environment and be triggered by changes to a table that supports auditing. The company policy requires that all flows handling sensitive data use managed identities for authentication and execute within a dedicated environment with data loss prevention (DLP) policies applied. Which combination of features should you use?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Solution-aware automated flow deployed to a dedicated environment with a managed identity
A solution-aware flow can be packaged and deployed to a dedicated environment with DLP policies, and a managed identity (now service principal) provides secure authentication. Option A is incorrect because instant flows are manually triggered, not triggered by data changes. Option B is incorrect because the 'When a row is modified' trigger does not use service principal; it uses the owner's credentials. Option C is incorrect because automated flows can be triggered by Dataverse changes, but the 'Run only for the flow owner' setting does not use managed identity.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Instant flow with user connection reference
Why it's wrong here
Instant flows require manual trigger, not automated data changes.
- ✗
Automated flow using the 'When a row is modified' trigger with a service principal connection
Why it's wrong here
The trigger does not support service principal connections; it uses the owner's credentials.
- ✗
Automated flow with the 'Run only for the flow owner' setting
Why it's wrong here
This setting uses the owner's credentials, not a managed identity.
- ✓
Solution-aware automated flow deployed to a dedicated environment with a managed identity
Why this is correct
Solution-aware flows can be deployed to dedicated environments with DLP policies, and managed identities provide secure authentication.
