Setting security on the environment

Setting security on your environment involves two very different processes, depending on whether you opted to create a database or not.

Managing security without a Dataverse database

When we are working with an environment that isn’t using a database, the security model is extremely simple. Users are categorized as either Environment Admins or Environment Makers.

Environment Admins can perform all actions across the environment, including the creation of DLP policies, which we will look at in the Introducing data policies section. A user can be an Environment Admin without being a Global Admin, and so they will only get admin access to their specific environments.

Environment Makers are users who can create new resources—that is, apps and flows—within the environment and are listed as Environment Admins.
