i thought the environments needed to have managed environments enabled but it seems to work for you even though they aren't? Any insight on this would be helpful!

Hi Tomasz, thanks for the information, learning a lot from your videos. I have a question regarding to the deployment process. In your video you mention to clear the environment variables before deploying. Apparently, you have to do it each time you deploy a new version of the app. I've a small app with only 4 environment variables, but once I forgot to clear them and the SharePoint locations were changed to the SharePoint DEV locations. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to make sure the variables will not change each time you deploy a new version?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tomaz, first thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I use the pipelines, but I noticed that even giving the values for the variables, in the case of SharePoint, both in the application and in the flows, the variables do not take the values, when I enter the APP the connections still maintain the value of the DEV environment, but when using the variable that went up to the solution, it takes the correct values.
Do you know if there is anything I need to configure so that this does not happen?

very interesting but a pemium licence for all user that are in the prod environnement. It well be more convenient if it was a premium licence based on the security role like Deployment pipeline users for example.

Thanks for sharing. Just a question, how do we move the lists for example which is used in FLOW between dev to test to prod SharePoint site? Is it possible using pipelines? If not what do you suggest as to how to move them. Thanks in advance.

Hi Tomasz,

As a Power platform administrator I have configured Pipelines and granted Pipeline user & admin rights to makers. What permissions are required for the makers in UAT & Prod environment to run the pipeline and deploy apps in target environment? We use CoE ALM Accelerator and everything is done via Service principal (App registrations). How does permissions work for logged in user in target environment if the pipeline runs in the context of logged-in user?

Hi Tomasz,
I am facing one minor issue which is after creating the environment variable. I create a Instant cloud Flow and then I used the mail action in which I used my email id and when I tried using the environment variable as Subject and tried saving the flow, it gave an error: Request to XRM API failed with error: 'Message: Flow client error returned with status code "Bad request" and details' Attribute value was not found (but in the video you did say that the value should be left blank)
Could you please help with this.
