Environments

Environments are the foundation of the Power Platform.
Impliancy uses your environment list to determine which artifacts should be indexed, monitored, and governed.

Environment types

Typical types you may see:

  • Production (PROD)
  • Sandbox
  • Developer
  • Trial
  • Dataverse for Teams (not indexed in the MVP)

Environment settings in Impliancy

Each environment has three key governance options:

Include in inventory

Controls whether Impliancy indexes all artifacts inside the environment.
Useful for excluding DEV environments.

Compliance check

Enables compliance forms for all artifacts in this environment.
Owners will be required to complete these forms.

Inactivity monitoring

Activates inactivity detection and optional automatic cleanup.

See Configuring environments for more details.

Permissions

The service principal must have the System Administrator role in the environment to index its artifacts and manage owner data.
