An environment is a space to 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. How you choose to use environments depends on your organization and the apps you build. For example:
You can choose to only build your apps in a single environment. You might create separate environments that group the test and production versions of your apps.
You might create separate environments that correspond to specific teams or departments in your company, each containing the relevant data and apps for each audience.
You might also create separate environments for different global branches of your company.
You can create and manage environments using the Power Platform admin center.
Learn all about environments in the Microsoft Power Platform admin guide.
There are a number of tools available for administering environments and resources.
The Power Platform admin center, or PPAC, (https://aka.ms/ppac) provides an interactive experience for performing administrative tasks within Power Platform.
PowerShell cmdlets provide a way to automate administrative tasks using PowerShell. These cmdlets can be used in a sequence to automate multistep administrative actions. Power Automate commands provide a way to view and modify environments, flows, and data related to Power Automate.
Power Automate Management and Admin connectors provide the ability to use flows to manage and monitor Power Automate and the rest of Power Platform.
The Center of Excellence (COE) Starter Kit provides a template implementation using the Management and Admin connectors. It comes with a Power BI dashboard that can be leveraged to gain tenant-wide insights.
The List flows as Admin action on the Power Automate Management connector has been deprecated in favor of the List Flows as Admin (V2) action. The List Flows as Admin (V2) action can list all flows in an environment. It has higher performance, since it returns only the identifying information about the flow. To accomplish this performance increase, the flow definition and some other metadata aren't returned. If the flow definition or additional metadata is needed, then a subsequent call can be made to the Get Flow as Admin action. This community forum post contains more information, migration guidance, and a Q&A (question and answer) format: Transition to List Flows as Admin V2 from deprecated List Flows as Admin action
