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.

Come to think of it, a Power Automate cloud flow with an HTTP trigger and a response action is not that different from a web page for the outside world. Just look at this: If I had contact id passed to this flow as a query parameter, I could use Dataverse connector to set “do… Read More »
Earlier this week, I blogged about the solution I was going to upload to git, and, finally, it’s there now. For all the details, please keep reading. However, once and if you wanted to have a look at the solution itself, here is a link: https://github.com/ashlega/SimpleSolutions In the first version, there are only a few… Read More »
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.

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 »

You might think you’d be able to see it, but, in reality, it might not be showing up: Which would not, really, mean the… Read More »
Back in March, I happened to become the new owner of 3 web sites where everyone can join a fitness challenge, set a goal for the month, and get a medal upon completion of the challenge: Pedal For A Medal, Swim The Distance, Run Challenges This gave me a somewhat new perspective on the Power… Read More »
Power Platform and low code development are not exactly synonyms, but they are close. As in, very close. That seems to be creating an interesting problem.
