Study Notes
Power Platform Governance
- Power Platform governance issues arise due to the no-code/low-code nature enabling citizen developers to create content outside of IT control.
- Responsibility for development and security is unclear, as ownership of apps, flows, etc., is not always defined.
- IT must ensure compliance with licensing and security policies concerning sensitive data used by citizen developers.
Governance Challenges
- Orphaned apps/flows: Leaving apps/flows without owners can occur when developers leave a company. IT-managed software has established handover protocols, which citizen developers might not implement.
- Compromised data: Citizen developers prioritizing app/flow functionality over security practices could lead to unprotected data. Dataverse's complex interactions can create issues with credentials and permissions.
- Unused features: Citizen developers may be unaware of Power Platform features to handle governance problems. Developer focus might be on accomplishing a task rather than adhering to established software development practices.
- Slow flows: Flows can be slow due to data consumption limits or Power Platform licensing issues, which standard IT developers are aware of.
- Flow errors: Citizen developers may not account for potential runtime errors or flow handling during development. This can negatively affect productivity.
Microsoft's Governance Solution
- A Center of Excellence (CoE) Starter Kit provides governance tools.
- The kit serves as a framework, and IT and citizen developers must utilize its features.
- The CoE Kit includes dashboards, apps and flows to track resources (environments, makers, apps, flows, connectors).
- It provides tools for locating orphaned apps and assigning new owners, as well as for managing compliance with established policies.
Power Platform Analytics
- Power Platform Admin center provides an Analytics menu for usage monitoring.
- Analytics pages display statistical information (in Power BI dashboard format). Data updates in real time.
- Dataverse, Power Automate, and Power Apps analytics pages exist.
- Tenant-level analytics can be enabled to monitor metrics for all environments.
- Metrics from all environments are aggregated under the tenant-level analytics view.
