Where must you create a Common Data Service environment?

The correct choice is the Power Platform Admin Center. This is the designated location for managing environments within the Microsoft Power Platform, including the Common Data Service (now known as Microsoft Dataverse). The Admin Center provides a centralized interface for creating, managing, and configuring environments that store and manage data used by applications and services built on the Power Platform.

Creating an environment allows you to define security, data policies, and other settings necessary to ensure proper governance and operational efficiency. The Power Platform Admin Center is also where administrators can manage users, monitor usage, and configure databases specific to the environment.

While PowerApps Studio is focused on building applications and may provide some environment-specific functionalities, it does not have the full capabilities needed for environment management. The Azure Portal can manage various Azure services, but it is not the primary interface for creating Power Platform environments. Microsoft Teams might integrate with Power Platform applications, but it does not serve as a platform for creating or managing environments for the Common Data Service.
