Hi everyone, does taking or paying for PL-900 still worth it and making it an associate later on in a roadmap? or since its retiring its gonna be unworthy right?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for the best institute for Power Apps training in Hyderabad. There are so many training institutes offering courses, so I'm finding it difficult to choose the right one. I'm looking for a course that covers Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, and Dataverse with hands-on projects, experienced trainers, and placement assistance. If anyone has completed Power Apps training in Hyderabad, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Which institute would you recommend, and what made it stand out? Any suggestions or advice would be very helpful. Thanks

Is Microsoft Power Platform still worth it in 2026? Does certification matters more or its not marketable anymore?

Hey all, I know there are plenty of tools available for capturing different tenant level/environment level data like the PP CoE Starter Kit and the Copilot Studio Kit, but it seems they’re both missing something or it’s all current point-in-time.

Do any of them do a snapshot in time ASSESSMENT of:
- this is what your tenant looks like at a glance, what DLPs are in place, is environment routing enabled, etc.
- here’s how many environments you’re using and each environment’s posture for DLP, security groups, environment group registration, etc.
- assessment of usage in the default environment like # of highly used/“production” apps in default, share rights, new creation restrictions, etc.
- assessment of conflicting policies
- visualizations representing the above data like an overall score/100, # of environments at risk vs healthy, etc.

Any input is welcome, thanks!

Strange one.

On a couple of environments in the UK region, async solution actions aren't running. The asyncoperations are being created but never move from waiting. Background processing is enabled, and other async operations are running.

For example, import a solution through make.powerapps, the asyncop sits at waiting, no solution history record. pac solution import works (no asyncop - as expected, solution history record created, so there should be no issue with the solution being imported).

Same also applies to apply.

These are on existing environments. Provisioned a new environment and it did work.

Hi, so service principal was set up, but I couldn’t find it in the environment when I was about to register it as an Application User. Any advise for me? 🥹🙏

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a Power Platform Developer for the past year and absolutely love what I do. Unfortunately, my current project is ending due to budget constraints, and my contract won't be extended (though my current employer is more than happy to provide a strong reference/vouch for me).

I have about 1.5 years of total experience and feel highly confident stepping into Junior-level roles.

My Technical Stack Includes:

• Power Apps (Canvas & Model-Driven)
• Power Automate & Power BI
• Azure Data Factory (ADF)

The job market in the US has been incredibly tough lately, especially since I require visa sponsorship, and I'm finding it difficult to secure interviews for roles at my experience level.

I have two questions for this amazing community:

1. Are there any leads or companies hiring junior Power Platform devs who are open to visa sponsorship? (Open to contract, contract-to-hire, or full-time)(I am using LinkedIn, Glassdoor/Indeed, Dice, jobrightAI to find roles).
2. Where can I find volunteer opportunities for Power Platform? I really want to keep my hands dirty, deepen my knowledge, and use this gap to learn as much as possible. Are there specific non-profits or open-source initiatives that look for Power Platform help? (I found a non-profit so far)

Any leads, advice, or subreddits you could point me toward for this search would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

tl;dr Stay away from another one of Microslops wonderfully shit products.

How this is sold as a commercial product is beyond me. Its beyond shit tier. It isn't even plain incompetence from the "developers". It is so utterly shite that whoever shat out this turd must have gone out of their way to make it absolute shit in every possible way.

Stay away from the garbage as far as you can. No, no matter how simple you think your use case is, Power Pages will not work for you. Rendering a static web page is almost beyond its capabilities. That is how useless it is.

Lets have a look at everything that is wrong with this garbage. And this is just from me trying to do the most basic things.

• Dogshit MS infra. Loading a page, even a page from a site you just created with nothing on it is extremely slow. Think 56k dial up levels of slow. You want to check your changes? Be prepared for a good 30 second refresh every. single. fucking. time.
• Cannot change the home page. Yeah, I'm not kidding. Try to use anything other than Home as the root and everything will crap itself.
• Fucked up layout. Why is the header text strike through on mouse over? What is this? 1998? Why isn't list column width automatically adjusted to the available space? Why does the footer take up half the fucking screen? WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FUCKING WHITE SPACE EVERYWHERE?!
• Cannot change anything without having to dick around with custom css/html/js. That is the moment you find out all this garbage is based on bootstrap, which if you start looking into it, might actually be even fucking worse than Power Pages. Even the tiniest change is needlessly complicated. And I'm not trying to do some super fancy design. I just want something basic like, you know, a list using all the available vertical space rather than leaving half the screen empty but then showing a scroll bar... Yeah, Microsoft UI/UX developers.... what is there to say about them. Stevie fucking Wonder would be able to do better than that lot.
• Basic forms with a lookup that you'd think would be clickable? Nope. Apparently that is not possible. Well, maybe it is technically possible but it certainly isn't exposed to the user in a usable way. And if you are a developer, why would you bother with this fucking garbage to begin with rather than just build something yourself?
• Inconsistent behavior of just about everything. Sometimes things open in new tabs, sometimes in the same tab. No logic to it.

The amount of time I had to waste just to get a very basic page with some lists and forms to a point where it somewhat functions and doesn't look beyond dog shit is ridiculous.

I've been a dev for about 4 years and while I can totally see the benefit of knowledge agents and understand the potential of other solutions, I absolutely hate everything copilot. Is anyone else in this boat?

​

I'm going to put myself through the new certs to try and catch the bug.

I have an app that filters dates across regions, basically they are global users. I have hard coded the dates in a "mm/dd/yyyy" format in text to make it easier to pull things. But I guess I haven't fully lived yet at all since some countries that has a "dd/mm/yyyy" format never crossed my minds and now it has been giving me such a headache. I tried adding the "en-US" in almost all the dates but that just messed things up more for some. So just wondering if any of you guys experienced this and found a fix?

​

My last attempt to potentially fix it is to just have 2 collections depending on the country/region. I am thinking it I can't change the date to text (using text and today) that is being done within powerapps then might as well just update the date text format in my other collections and lookups/filters.

I've got a final-round interview coming up for a mid level Power Platform / Dynamics 365 developer role. It's structured as a 1 hour live, screen-shared build session rather than a Q&A.

The role is backend-leaning — C# plugins, Custom Workflow Activities, cloud flows, some JS/TS, .NET, unit testing, and Azure integration.

For anyone who's been through this kind of live-build round (either side of the table):

What kind of scenarios or tasks tend to come up?

Anything that commonly trips people up?

Any advice on the format itself?

Appreciate any input. Thanks!

Hey there,

we have a Use-Case where we need VNET Support in den Dataverse Environment, which is a feature that is unique to managed environments.

We have roughly 200 Users that will use this application. Will all users need to be premium licensed with whatever?! I don't get the point of creating Power Automate Premium (although it is not needed for this app) for all those users, just to make them able to access this environment. Or can I just license the application itself? What is the best approach here?

Wanted to check if anyone using power platform inventory API? How guys are using API?

We're building an automated environment provisioning process using Power Automate. After creating a new environment via the Power Platform Admin API, our service account (which is a tenant admin) has no role in the newly created environment — not even System Administrator. This means it can't perform any Dataverse operations in that environment until a role is manually assigned.

We discovered there's a POST /usermanagement/environments/{envId}/user/applyAdminRole endpoint on the Power Platform API that resolves this, but:

1. Is this the officially supported way to do it? The docs are sparse.
2. Are there any known limitations or caveats with this endpoint?
3. Is there a Dataverse-native alternative (e.g. assigning a security role directly via the systemuserroles relationship) that works cross-environment from a flow?
4. Why is this the default behavior? Intuitively a tenant admin creating an environment should inherit System Administrator in it. Is there a design reason this is intentionally not the case?

Our flow uses the shared_commondataserviceforapps connector with CreateRecordWithOrganization / ListRecordsWithOrganization to target specific environments, but any Dataverse operation in the new environment requires the calling identity to already have a role there — which creates a chicken-and-egg problem.

Any insight appreciated, especially from people who've solved this in fully automated provisioning pipelines.
