Frequently Asked Questions
What is Power Platform governance?
Power Platform governance is the framework of policies, environments, and data rules that organizations use to manage low-code development, secure data, and prevent shadow IT.
Why are environments important in Power Platform?
Environments act as isolated rooms or containers that allow administrators to separate development, testing, and production apps while managing security and access permissions.
What do Power Platform data policies do?
Data policies, or data loss prevention (DLP) rules, dictate which connectors can be used together to ensure sensitive organizational data is not improperly shared.
How do you balance control and freedom in low-code governance?
You balance control and freedom by implementing automated monitoring and guardrails rather than outright blocking users, allowing citizen developers to innovate safely.
