Manage apps with Power Platform admin center

Completed

The Power Platform admin center is your key to unlock available Dynamics 365 apps that run on Microsoft Dataverse. You can use the Power Platform admin center to install, configure, and manage these apps.

Note

During the environment creation, you must create a Dataverse database and enable Dynamics 365 apps. To enable the Dynamics 365 apps, you must have a valid Dynamics 365 license. For more information, see Create an environment with a database.

You can manage apps from the tenant level or the environment level.

Tenant-level view of apps

Under the Resources tab of the Power Platform admin center, you'll find a tab for Dynamics 365 apps. From here you can manage apps from the tenant-level.

Manage Resources including Power Pages, Power Apps and Flows

If you're an Environment Admin, Global admin, or Microsoft Power Platform admin, you can manage Power Pages, Power Apps apps and Power Automate flows that have been created in your organization.

The way to do this is to select an environment first, then in the same Resources pane where you accessed Dynamics 365 apps from your environment view, you'll have links to Power Pages sites, Power Apps apps, and Flows from Power Automate.

Selecting any of the links shows a list of the pages, apps and flows (respectively). Common information for apps and flows includes a name, owner, and modified date/time. The Power Apps list includes the type of app. The Flows list includes the state of the flow (enabled/disabled). Power Pages sites gives you shortcuts to manage each site that is part of your tenant, check your portal package(s) for upgrade, and Purge Cache.

As an admin, you can share, delete, disable (in the case of a Power Automate flow) or see details of the selected app/flow/page.
