Creating a Power Platform environment is a straightforward process managed through the Power Platform admin center. This allows you to establish dedicated spaces for your apps, flows, and data, often separating development, testing, and production stages.
Here are the steps to create a new Power Platform environment:
Steps to Create an Environment
To begin, you will need appropriate administrative permissions.
- Sign in to the Power Platform admin center
Navigate to the Power Platform admin center and sign in. You must have either a Dynamics 365 admin or Power Platform admin role to perform this action. - Navigate to Environments
In the navigation pane located on the left side of the admin center interface, select the Environments option. - Initiate New Environment Creation
On the Environments page, select the New button to start the environment creation wizard. - Configure Environment Settings
You will be prompted to enter specific details for your new environment. Key settings include:- Name: Provide a unique and descriptive name for your environment.
- Region: Choose the geographical region where your environment's data will reside. Selecting a region close to your users can improve performance.
- Other settings (like Type, Purpose, Database creation, etc., which are standard options in the wizard but not detailed in the specific reference): Configure these based on your requirements (e.g., production, sandbox, trial).
- Save the Environment
After filling in the necessary settings, select the Save button. The Power Platform will then begin provisioning your new environment.
Once saved, the environment will appear in your list of environments in the admin center. Provisioning may take some time depending on the configuration selected.
This process ensures you have a dedicated space tailored to your specific needs within the Power Platform ecosystem.
