Study Notes
Managing Apps and Users in Power Platform
- Power Apps and Power Automate (unlike Power BI) can modify data sources, requiring more careful user privilege management.
Managing Apps
- The Power Apps portal's "Apps" page allows app selection, editing, running, configuration, sharing, exporting, addition to Teams, and run history viewing.
Managing Users
- Power Platform tools leverage Azure Active Directory for user authentication and access control.
- User creation and management generally use the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- Administrators assign licenses to users via the "Manage product licenses" button.
- Available licenses depend on purchased tenant subscriptions.
- Some licenses are bundled (e.g., with Microsoft 365 or Dynamics 365).
- Standalone Power Platform subscriptions are available for greater capabilities.
- Security roles are assigned via the Dynamics 365 user management center.
- Security roles combine access levels and data permissions to specific resources, essential for model app users, primarily in Dynamics 365.
- Important Note: Security role management may be moving to the Power Platform admin center; check for updates.
Environments
-
When an Azure AD tenancy is created, a default environment (named after the tenant) is also created.
-
Environments contain apps, flows, and associated data.
-
Environment usage is displayed prominently.
-
Environment access is limited to users in the associated Azure AD tenancy.
-
Environments are tied to the tenant's location.
-
A single Microsoft Dataverse database is allowed per environment.
-
Data is restricted to apps and flows within the same environment.
-
Administrators can create multiple environments.
-
The "Environments" page (in Power Platform admin center) lists current environments.
-
New environments can be created with specific names, types, and regions.
-
Environments also support default language and currency values.
-
Option to create an associated Dataverse database.
-
Several reasons to create multiple environments:
- Team, department, or location separation.
- App and flow development/testing versus production.
-
Environment types:
- Production (for permanent use, requiring license and storage).
- Sandbox (development/testing, supports "copy" and "reset" functions)
- Trial (short-term testing, 30-day limit, single user)
- Developer (single user, Community Plan license required).
-
An environment selector tool is available in the Power Apps and Power Automate portals.
