Microsoft made Flow and PowerApps generally available at the end of 2016​, after being in public preview for more than half a year. With Microsoft Flow it is possible to connect multiple services (both cloud based and on-premises) and build automated workflows based on an information exchange between these services. PowerApps is a service that lets you create business apps in a relatively short period of time (in minutes up to just a couple of days), publish these apps instantly for web and mobile, and share them with team members or even the entire organisation. For users, this is all wonderful. But what does this mean for administrators? How to handle security and control? How can you support hybrid scenarios? What is happening in the background? What if something doesn’t work? In this session I will answer all these questions. We’ll build a combined PowerApp / Flow solution for holiday requests. We’ll talk about the Flow and PowerApps Admin Center where you can control which services are allowed to connect to business data and/or public data, and define environments that Flows and PowerApps are allowed to run in. We’ll also cover hybrid scenarios and how you can connect to on-premises SQL databases and SharePoint farms. And finally I will show you how you can assist your users in troubleshooting when something goes wrong.​

You will learn:

  • How to manage security in PowerApps and Flow
  • How to manage governance in PowerApps and Flow
  • How to set up a hybrid connection from PowerApps and Flow to SharePoint on-premises
  • How to troubleshoot installation and run issues
