The Microsoft 365 Global Admin role is like the top-level boss when it comes to managing Microsoft services, including the Power Platform. If you have this role, you have the keys to pretty much everything in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, which includes Office 365, Azure, and the Power Platform (like Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, etc.).
In the Power Platform context, the Global Admin can create, manage, and delete environments, control data policies, manage user roles and permissions, and set up important integrations. Essentially, this role lets you oversee all Power Platform activities and make sure everything aligns with your organization’s needs. It’s a powerful role, so it’s usually limited to a small group of trusted people within a company.
