How to Check Power Platform Capabilities Across an Organization
Question details
IT administrators need to identify the availability of various Power Platform features across their organization, including Copilot Studio, premium connectors, Dataverse, and desktop flows.
- Product
- Microsoft Power Platform
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Auditing and reviewing tenant settings, licensing, and environments for organization-wide feature availability.
- Observed behavior
- The administrator is looking for the proper channels and tools to view centralized tenant settings, licenses, and Power Platform capabilities.
Ensure you have the necessary administrative privileges, such as the Global Administrator or Power Platform Administrator role, before attempting to view or modify organization-wide tenant settings.
Review Capabilities via the Power Platform Admin Center
The most comprehensive way to check features, environments, and licensing is through the central Microsoft administration portal.
Microsoft consolidates most of its business application settings into a single admin center. This portal allows you to manage environments, monitor capacity, and review which features are enabled across the tenant.
Log in to the Power Platform Admin Center at admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com using your administrator credentials.
Navigate to the 'Environments' tab on the left sidebar to see all active environments and their associated features, such as Dataverse deployment status.
Go to 'Resources' and select 'Capacity' to review active premium connectors, AI Builder credits, and overall storage capacity for the organization.
Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner, select 'Power Platform settings', and access the 'Tenant settings' to enable or disable organization-wide features such as Copilot Studio.
Consult the Microsoft Power Platform Community
For specific, complex capability inquiries or undocumented features, escalating to the official community is highly recommended.
Manage Your IT Documentation with WPS Office
While auditing Microsoft Power Platform capabilities requires Microsoft admin tools, documenting these IT policies, compliance reports, and architecture diagrams is easier with WPS Office. It is a free, lightweight, and fully compatible Office suite tailored for professionals.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS Office website and download the free installation package for your operating system.
- 2. Draft IT Reports: Open WPS Writer or Spreadsheet to quickly draft your Power Platform capability audits and tenant configurations.
- 3. Export as PDF: Use the built-in PDF export feature to save your documents securely before sharing them with organizational stakeholders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can view Power Platform capabilities across an organization?
Only users assigned the Global Administrator or Power Platform Administrator roles can view and manage organization-wide settings, environments, and licensing in the Power Platform Admin Center.
How do I check AI Builder credit availability?
Administrators can check AI Builder credits by logging into the Power Platform Admin Center, navigating to the 'Resources' tab on the left, and selecting 'Capacity' to view assigned and available AI Builder credits.
Where can I manage premium connectors for Power Apps?
Premium connectors are managed through Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies within the Power Platform Admin Center. Administrators can block, allow, or categorize specific connectors for different environments.
Why can't I see Microsoft Fabric settings in the Power Platform admin area?
Microsoft Fabric and Power BI administrative settings are typically managed in the dedicated Power BI Admin portal or the broader Microsoft 365 Admin Center, rather than exclusively within the Power Apps or Automate environments.
