PL-900 Practice Question: Demonstrate the capabilities of Power Automate
Your organization uses Power Automate to automate approval workflows for purchase orders. The compliance team requires that all approvals be auditable and that the flow logs include the identity of the user who initiated the approval. Which feature should you use?
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
✓
Enable 'Run only user' in the flow's trigger settings.
The 'Run only user' setting in a flow's trigger captures the context of the user who triggered the flow, enabling audit trails. Option A is wrong because the 'When an item is created' trigger does not log the initiator by default. Option B is wrong because 'Configure Run After' settings are for error handling, not for capturing user identity. Option C is wrong because the 'Start and wait for an approval' action does not include the trigger context beyond its own inputs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use the 'When an item is created' trigger for the approval.
Why it's wrong here
The trigger alone doesn't capture user identity.
- ✗
Configure 'Run After' settings for the approval action.
Why it's wrong here
Run After determines action execution order, not audit logging.
- ✗
Use the 'Start and wait for an approval' action.
Why it's wrong here
This action manages approval but doesn't log the initiator automatically.
- ✓
Enable 'Run only user' in the flow's trigger settings.
Why this is correct
This captures the user who triggered the flow for audit.
