Developer type environment created on behalf of user

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 48

Dear all,

 

In our tenant, only Power Platform administrators can create an environment. However, when Power Platform Admin creates a developer type environment, there is no option to assign the "owner". Does this mean that the Power Platform Admin becomes the owner, and what happens when the admin creates three of them? What is the proper way to create developer environments on behalf of app makers?

 

By definition, Microsoft Power Platform app makers can create up to three developer type environments. Developer environments are special environments intended only for use by the owner.

 

Your help is much appreciated! 

 

Regards,

Milos

    Hi,

    Developer environments are created by the user from PPAC.

    The Admin needs enable this functionality here:

    Hi Alberto,

     

    Thank you for your prompt answer. I was aware how to achieve this (by enabling creation of developer environments), but I was wondering is there a way to have this option disabled so Power Platform Admin creates the dev type environment on behalf of users.

    No, this is not possible, an environment can't be created on behalf other user and neither can't change the owner after.
