What are Data Loss Prevention polices in Power Platform and why would you use those? That’s the question I had to answer recently in a relatively concise manner, and, perhaps, what came out could be useful for others, too. Essentially, the purpose of DLP in Power Platform is to help prevent users from unintentionally exposing… Read More »
When debugging a plugin, I often use PluginExecutionExceptions to display debugging messages. But, of course, it all works great when my development environment (or the plugin) is relatively isolated. And it all falls apart when there are other people working in the same environment, and they suddenly start seeing those error messages. There is a… Read More »
The question of setting up a branching strategy when doing development in Dataverse comes up almost inevitably. It’s a discussion that happens at a certain point, and it can be happening on the same project a number of times as people are joining the project. Would probably make sense to explain why we are having… Read More »
Yesterday, I posted a question asking what does it mean for a flow to be “within context” of the licensed application. Based on what I was able to figure out eventually, the technical answer might be somewhat different from what we could be assuming. Note: you may want to confirm licensing with Microsoft whenever you… Read More »
If you look at the Power Apps licensing guide, you will see that flow execution is, usually, permitted within app context: That same wording applies to pretty much all licence types, including Dynamics 365. And there is a corresponding note in the Power Apps Licensing FAQs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/powerapps-flow-licensing-faq Question, though. How do you read this?

In Microsoft Dataverse, business rules are not application-specific. They can be scoped to a certain main form, they can be scoped to a table, or they can be scoped to all forms in that table (in the latter case, this would mean the rules would also apply to all quick create forms). Model-Driven applications will… Read More »
For some reason, this issue comes up every now and then. It may come up when talking to the new application users, to the new developers, to the business analysts sometimes… and, usually, it needs to be addressed quickly. Basically, it might not be obvious that different applications in the same environment might still be… Read More »
If one says “A”, he has to say “B”, right? So here is an addition to my yesterday’s “introduction to Microsoft Dataverse security model”. Hope you’ll find it useful, too. In the basic security model, every user belongs to a business unit, and, when a role is assigned to a user, all permissions are applied… Read More »
Not sure this overview of the security model in Microsoft Dataverse offers better/additional insight, but I came up with it anyways while working on the Power Platform course, so, hopefully, it’ll be useful. In Microsoft Dataverse, security model operates with the following concepts: There is a Dataverse Environment – it has its own database, its… Read More »
