Leader brief

What a technology leader should know about Power Platform Administration Step By Step

What it is

Power Platform administration puts controls around the apps, flows and agents that makers build: environments, security, data policies, money and automation of admin checks.

Why now

Without an admin, everything lands in the Default environment with no owner, no data policy and no backup plan. 2026 changes the rules: Managed Environments, new developer environment deadlines and agents everywhere.

Decisions you will make

  • Environment strategy and which environments become Managed Environments
  • Data policies: which connectors may share data
  • How capacity, licences and pay-as-you-go are controlled
  • How Copilot Studio agents are governed

Risks if ignored

  • Company data flows to personal services
  • Unmanaged developer environments are suspended at the deadline
  • Apps and agents with no owner or backup
  • Unexpected capacity bills

Cost

Free: A developer or trial tenant and a free developer plan cover the labs.

Paid: Capacity, pay-as-you-go and Copilot Studio credits are paid; the course shows them only.

Our lab: Nothing that costs money was switched on.

Who owns what

Power Platform adminEnvironments, groups, data policies, tenant settings
SecurityDataverse security roles and auditing
Finance/ITLicences, capacity and billing

Questions to ask your team

  • How many apps live in the Default environment?
  • Which connectors can move company data out today?
  • Who owns each production app and agent?
  • What do we pay for capacity, and who watches it?
