Microsoft Power Platform
TMA-POWERPLATFORM-TRIAL-ENV-CREATION
Ensure trial environment creation is restricted to administrators
LowLevel 2Automatedpower-platform
Description
Trial environments created by makers frequently hold real data with no governance. Requires Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell and an authenticated session (Add-PowerAppsAccount) as a Power Platform administrator; the audit throws if the module is missing.
How it is checked
Audit method: Shell command
shell
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; if (-not (Get-Command Get-TenantSettings -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) { throw 'Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell is not loaded: run Add-PowerAppsAccount first' }; $s = Get-TenantSettings -ErrorAction Stop; if ($s.disableTrialEnvironmentCreationByNonAdminUsers -eq $true) { 'compliant' } else { 'noncompliant' }- Expected output
compliant
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
Power Platform admin center > Settings > Tenant settings > Trial environment assignments > Only specific admins (or set disableTrialEnvironmentCreationByNonAdminUsers = $true via Set-TenantSettings).
