Getting Started with Power Platform Protection: Installation and Configuration

This article provides the high-level workflow for configuring the Druva Cloud Platform to back up Microsoft Power Platform data.

To ensure a successful deployment, the process is divided into two primary phases: Initial App Setup and Tenant Environment Authorization.

Phase 1: App Deployment and Encryption

The first phase involves establishing the connection between Druva and your Microsoft 365 tenant. This ensures that the data pipeline is authenticated and encrypted.

Key Tasks:

  1. Installing the Druva Power platform app in the Druva Cloud Platform.

  2. Authorizing Global Admin credentials.

  3. Enabling AWS KMS or BYOK encryption.

📝NOTE: Scheduled backups and discovery will not function without a completed encryption configuration.

Detailed Instructions: Proceed to App Deployment and Encryption

Phase 2: Tenant Environment Authorization

The second phase allows the Druva Service Principal to "see" and "read" your Power Platform data. This requires specific configurations outside of the Druva console.

Power BI

Key Tasks:

  1. Create or update an Entra ID security group and add the Druva Power Platform application as a member.

  2. In the Power BI Admin portal, authorize that security group to use Fabric public APIs and read-only Power BI admin APIs (least-privilege discovery without tenant-wide admin rights).

Both tasks are required for discovery to start and provide full content protection.

Power Apps

Complete the Power Apps Backup Prerequisite by registering your application in Microsoft Entra ID, then register it with Microsoft Power Platform using the PowerShell script provided on Wizard.

Until this prerequisite is complete, Power Apps discovery does not start.

Detailed Instructions: Proceed to Tenant Environment Authorization.
