Which security feature is used to restrict access to connectors in the Power Platform?

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies are a crucial security feature in the Power Platform that serve to restrict access to connectors based on their classification and the organizational compliance requirements. DLP policies help safeguard sensitive data by controlling how and where data can be shared between different services and applications.

When DLP policies are implemented, they enforce rules that specify which connectors can be used together within an app or flow. For example, if an organization categorizes certain connectors as business-critical or sensitive, the DLP policy can prevent those connectors from being used alongside others that may pose a risk of data leakage. This layered approach provides an essential mechanism for protecting organizational data and adhering to regulatory requirements.

While role-based access control, OAuth permissions, and security groups play important roles in managing user access and permissions, they do not specifically handle the restriction of connectors in the context of protecting data and ensuring compliance. Using DLP policies allows administrators to have fine-grained control over the data flow in the Power Platform, thereby enhancing the organization’s security posture and compliance capabilities.
