Power Platform pipelines | delegated deployment with a service principal

Writing on his blog, Rajeev Pentyala explained that when using Power Platform pipelines, makers usually don’t have high-level access to the environments that they're deploying to. He noted that delegated deployment solves this by letting the pipeline run with a service principal (a special account set up for deployments) instead of the maker’s personal account.

In this post, he looked at delegated deployments using a service principal. With this method, Pentyala pointed out that the pipeline stage runs under the identity of a delegate (the service principal) instead of the maker who started it.

First, he pointed out the prerequisites, and then he explained how to configure delegated deployment on a pipeline stage.

How to send good looking emails with Power Automate

Writing on his blog, Tom Riha stated that one reason he prefers Power Automate over Power Apps (although he uses both) is because it focuses on functionality over user interactions. Still, you can’t avoid user interaction completely as there are often some notification emails involved.
