Administer flows
Welcome to the Admin center! The Admin center is the central location where tenant admins and environment admins manage an organization's data policies and environments. Any changes that you make in the Admin center are immediately available to users in the organization.
In this module, you learn how to:
- Import and export flows.
- Share flows.
- Monitor flows.
Open the Admin center
There are two ways to open the Admin center.
Option 1: Power Automate settings
Go to Power Automate, and sign in by using your organizational account.
Select the Settings button (the gear symbol), and then select Admin Center on the menu.
The Admin center is opened.
Option 2: Open the admin center directly
- Go directly to the Admin center, and sign in by using your work account.
Environments
An environment is a space where you can store, manage, and share your organization's business data, apps, and flows. It also serves as a container to separate apps that might have different roles, security requirements, or target audiences.
The way that you use environments depends on your organization and the apps that you're trying to build. Here are some examples:
- You can create separate environments to group the test and production versions of your apps.
- You can create separate environments that correspond to specific teams or departments in your company. Each environment holds the relevant data and apps for each team/department.
- You can create separate environments for different global branches of your company.
- You can build all your apps in a single environment.
Data policies
When you use Power Automate, the data is automatically protected with whatever security roles your organization already has in place. It isn't possible to use Power Automate to get access to information that the user doesn't already have access to in the organization. Some organizations might want to add an extra, optional layer of security that can proactively block flows that violate certain policies.
