We can edit filters, we can manage views, and we can edit columns. All of that is done separately: Conceptually, it’s, probably, not bad, since using Advanced… Read More »
Microsoft has been implying the existence of “internal makers community” when promoting Power Platform a lot. This is, likely, where all CoE ideas are coming from. This is where fusion teams make more sense. This is what may make it easier for the citizen developers to do their work. And, on a practical note, this… Read More »
When you are caught in the middle of “which technology do we choose” to develop this application, and when the choice is between Power Platform and custom development, there is rarely a straightforward answer, but there are lots of considerations. Why don’t we go over some of them at least. There is no licensing in… Read More »
Tenant Admins can be restricted from viewing Dataverse data Neither Power Platform Admins, nor Tenant Admins can be restricted from accessing data in Dataverse environments: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/use-service-admin-role-manage-tenant Dynamics 365 administrators can be restricted, though, as long as they have not been added to an Azure AD group that’s been assigned to a given environment.

Occasionally, you’d probably want to know the time stamp of the last successful run of your power automate flow. For example, you might be working on the data synchronization, and you might need to track those timestamps somehow. Which is a bit of a problem, it seems. You might try following Linn’s blog here: https://linnzawwin.blogspot.com/2020/08/get-flow-run-by-using-dynamics-365cds.html… Read More »
As I mentioned in my earlier post, I’ve been trying to sort of eat my own dog food here, and I’ve been finding it rather interesting so far. Or should I say tasty? In this post, I will walk you through the beginning of what I call “Simple Marketing” solution. Which also includes “Simple Support”… Read More »
Have you ever wanted to get the list of users a canvas app has been shared with? Of course you could go to the maker portal and look at it there: But you can also do it in your flows easily (assuming you have permissions). There is Power Apps for Admins Connector: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/powerappsforadmins/ And it… Read More »
