Flashcards

What is 'No-Code/Low-Code' development?

The ability to create and manage custom applications, flows, and reports without relying on traditional coding.

What is an 'Orphaned App'?

When citizen developers create apps or flows, they are responsible for maintaining and updating them. Issues arise when these developers leave the company, leaving the app or flow orphaned with no owner or access to administrative functions.

How can 'Compromised Data' occur?

Citizen developers might prioritize functionality over security, resulting in data being left unprotected and vulnerable to unauthorized access.

How can 'Unused Features' impact governance?

The Power Platform's tools are built to handle governance issues, but citizen developers might not be aware of these capabilities, which can lead to inefficient processes.

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.
