Introduction to Microsoft Power Platform Admin Center portal
Administrators of the Microsoft Power Platform often need to monitor their environments and perform different tasks, such as creating and maintaining environments, enabling, and disabling features, and configuring security. For example, you may want to create a new environment that developers can use to create new functionality that will eventually be pushed out to your users.
The Power Platform Admin Center provides a central location for administrators to perform common functions such as managing their environments. It's also used to control different settings for Power Apps, Power Automate, and the Dynamics 365 apps such as Dynamics 365 Sales, or Dynamics 365 Customer Service.
When looking to administer Microsoft Dataverse, the Power Platform Admin Center portal provides multiple features you can use, from designing security models to monitoring and managing Dataverse capacity.
Settings are grouped into the following broad categories. They're accessible by selecting the link on the left-hand side of the portal.
