Set up ALM accelerator for Microsoft Power Platform. Power Platform Admin requirements consideration

My client’s ops team got a request from developers to support the ALM accelerator setup and configuration.

They follow the steps from the article below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/guidance/coe/setup-almacceleratorpowerplatform-preview#give-power-app-management-permission-to-your-app

App registration is a part of the setup. The Power App Management Permission is required and according to the warning below it creates potential issues.

“Currently, this cmdlet gives elevated permissions (for example, Power Platform Admin) to the app registration. Your organization’s security policies may not allow for these types of permissions. Ensure that these permissions are allowed before continuing. In the case that these elevated permissions are not allowed certain capabilities won’t work in the AA4PP pipelines.”

What done by Power Platform Admin

The Microsoft Power Platform Admin is responsible for setting up and maintaining the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) Accelerator for the Microsoft Power Platform. This requires consideration of the following requirements:

1. Establishing a centralized ALM Accelerator team with a clear ownership structure. This team should have the authority to define and implement the ALM Accelerator process for the entire Power Platform platform.

2. Establishing an ALM Accelerator process that is tailored to the specific needs of the Power Platform. This process should include the definition of activities, roles, and responsibilities for each stage of the ALM Accelerator process.

3. Creating a roadmap for the ALM Accelerator process that is aligned with the Power Platform roadmap and other business initiatives.

4. Ensuring that the ALM Accelerator process is integrated with other Power Platform processes, such as the release process, support process, and other related processes.

5. Establishing metrics to track the progress and effectiveness of the ALM Accelerator process.

6. Reviewing and updating the ALM Accelerator process on a regular basis to ensure its continued effectiveness and relevance.

7. Ensuring that the ALM Accelerator process accounts for the unique needs of different Power Platform user groups.

8. Working with the Power Platform Support team to ensure that any issues identified during the ALM Accelerator process are addressed quickly and effectively.
