Overview

About the exam

The PL-200 certification validates skills in configuring Microsoft Power Platform solutions as a functional consultant. It covers performing discovery and requirements capture, designing solutions using Microsoft Dataverse, Power Apps, Power Automate cloud flows, and Power Pages. Candidates must demonstrate the ability to configure business logic, process automation, data modeling, and environment management within the Power Platform ecosystem.

This certification is designed for functional consultants who implement and configure Power Platform solutions to meet business requirements. Candidates should have experience gathering requirements, engaging stakeholders, and translating business processes into Power Platform solutions using model-driven and canvas apps, cloud flows, and Power Pages sites.

Multiple Choice41%

Pick the single best answer from four or five options — the exam's bread and butter.

Drag & Drop15%

Drag items into the right slot, group or order — it tests whether you can apply a concept, not just recognise it.

More than one answer is correct and you need all of them; the question tells you how many to pick.

Dropdown13%

Complete a statement or a configuration by picking from dropdown menus inside the text.

Configure Microsoft Dataverse1 / 5

A functional consultant needs to ensure that the Salary column in the Employee table is visible only to users in the HR department. Other users should not be able to read, create, or update this column. What security mechanism should be implemented?

AlexFull explanation from Alex

Column Security Profiles provide field-level (column-level) security in Dataverse, restricting read, create, and update access on individual columns. Per Microsoft docs, you configure a Column Security Profile, add secured columns to it, then assign users or teams. This is the correct mechanism for restricting the Salary column to HR users because it operates at the column level, not the table level.

Business rules can hide columns on forms but do not prevent API or programmatic access — data remains readable through other channels. A security role with restricted table-level privileges controls access to entire rows, not individual columns. Hierarchy security controls record visibility based on reporting relationships, not column-level restrictions. Only Column Security Profiles provide true field-level data protection across all access methods including forms, views, and API.

Watch out

Common pitfalls

This exam tests functional consulting skills beyond just building apps. Candidates who only know how to build canvas apps without experience in Dataverse modeling and business process flows often find the breadth of topics challenging.

Watch list: PL-200

  1. 01Dataverse Modeling

    Not understanding Dataverse table relationships, choice columns, calculated/rollup fields, and data modeling best practices.

  2. 02Business Process Flows

    Confusing business process flows with cloud flows and not knowing when to use each for process automation scenarios.

  3. 03App Types

    Struggling to choose between model-driven apps and canvas apps for different user experience requirements.

  4. 04Security Roles

    Overlooking Dataverse security roles, business units, and team configurations for data access control.

  5. 05Environment Strategy

    Not understanding environment management, solution layering, and ALM practices for Power Platform deployments.
