  1. Question 1Describe Power Platform security

    A company wants users to see only the records of their own region in a Dataverse table. Which feature enforces this?

    1. AGiving every user the System Administrator role in every business unit with complete access
    2. BSharing a single login for each team member via a shared desktop session with a PIN
    3. CSecurity roles with record-level access based on the business unit or owner
    4. DMaking the table public on the internet via an anonymous web endpoint with no login
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: C

    Dataverse security roles control access to records by business unit, owner or hierarchy, which limits what each user sees. System Administrator access is too broad, shared logins remove accountability, and public tables expose data.

  2. Question 2Describe Power Platform

    A business wants a single set of tools for building apps, automating workflows, analysing data and creating chatbots. Which product family provides these together?

    1. AMicrosoft Teams Calling Plans
    2. BMicrosoft Power Platform
    3. CMicrosoft Project Standard
    4. DMicrosoft Visio Plan 1 Viewer
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Microsoft Power Platform combines Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Power Virtual Agents or Copilot Studio for low-code solutions. Teams is a collaboration tool, Project manages plans, and Visio draws diagrams.

  3. Question 3Describe Power Apps

    A company wants a mobile app for field staff to record inspections, working even with limited connectivity. Which product should be used?

    1. APower Apps canvas app
    2. BPower BI report
    3. CPower Automate flow with no interface
    4. DMicrosoft Forms survey
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: A

    Canvas apps let makers design the screen layout freely for mobile or desktop, and they can work with connectors and offline data. A report is for analysis, a flow has no user interface, and Forms is for surveys.

  4. Question 4Describe Power Automate

    A team wants a flow to start automatically whenever a new file is added to a SharePoint library. Which flow type should be used?

    1. AInstant flow started by a button in an app only
    2. BDesktop flow with no triggers
    3. CScheduled flow that runs only once a year
    4. DAutomated cloud flow with a SharePoint trigger
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: D

    An automated cloud flow starts when an event such as a file creation occurs, so it reacts without manual action. Instant flows need a user to start them, scheduled flows run on a timer, and desktop flows automate local applications.

  5. Question 5Describe Power BI

    A sales manager wants interactive charts that refresh from company data sources and that can be shared with colleagues in the browser. Which product should be used?

    1. AMicrosoft Excel desktop without any sharing
    2. BPower BI
    3. CMicrosoft Access only
    4. DMicrosoft Publisher
    Show answer and explanation
    Correct answer: B

    Power BI creates interactive reports and dashboards that refresh from data sources and can be shared in the browser. Excel desktop without sharing, Access and Publisher are not designed for interactive shared business reporting.

How to prepare for PL-900

  1. Read the official Microsoft outline first (exam page), so you know exactly what is in scope.
  2. Give the most time to Describe Power Platform security and Describe Power Platform: together they make up 38% of the questions.
  3. Take the free 30-question practice test and note which topics you miss.
  4. Go back to the weak topics, then test again. A practice score shows where to study; it does not predict your exam result.
