🔐 Choosing the Right Deployment Account

Depending on your setup, you can:

  • Use lowest‑privilege accounts
    Restrict deployment to roles such as Power Platform Administrator and SharePoint Administrator for a more secure, least‑privilege approach.

  • Use a Global Administrator account
    Assign the Global Administrator role to a single account to handle all deployment tasks in one place.

Choose the option that best balances security and convenience for your organization.
