Environment key facts
Environments are tied to a geographic location that is
configured at the time the environment is created

Environments can be used to target different audiences

and/or for different purposes such as dev, test and
production

Every tenant has a default environment where all licensed

Power Apps and Power Automate users can create apps
and Power Automates

Non-default environments offer more control around

permissions

Non-default environment creation can be restricted to

only global and service admins from the Power Platform
admin center: https://aka.ms/ppac
Establish an environment strategy
Assign your admins the Power Platform service admin
role, which grants full access to Power Apps, Power
Automate, and Power BI

Restrict the creation of net-new trial and production

environments to admins

Treat the default environment as a ‘Personal productivity’

environment for your business groups (renaming the
environment is recommended)

Establish a process for requesting access or creation of

environments:
• Dev/Test/Production environments for specific business
groups or applications
• Individual-use environments for POCs and trainings
Establish an environment strategy

Use a service account to deploy production solutions

Share resources with Azure AD Security Groups

Create temporary development environments

Less is better – find balance between security and

feasibility
Establish an environment strategy

Defined tiers of application support: The

level of complexity, how critical the app is,
and users impacted by the application are
all important measures of how to provision
environments to support all the scenarios

Capacity: Each environment (besides

trial and developer environments) will
consume 1GB to initially provision. This
might be a constraint for provisioning
environments

Admin involvement: Automating

environment creation and clean-up
Secure your data with data loss prevention (DLP)
Data loss prevention policies (DLP) enforce rules for which
connectors can be used together

Connectors are classified as either business data only, no

business data allowed or blocked

A connector in the business data only group can only be

used with other connectors from that group in the same
app or Power Automate

Tenant admins can define policies that apply to all

environments
