IN THIS CHAPTER

Bullet Working with the key components of the Power Platform admin center

Bullet Figuring out what the Power Apps Maker Portal can do

Bullet Keeping your Power Platform universe safe and secure

With most Microsoft products, you double-click the product’s icon, the corresponding application launches, and you can start working pretty much right away. Because the application functions as a platform, its interface is your entire home base. Power Platform works a little differently in this regard.

The entire building (environment) hosts one or more of these apartments.
