The Environment Maker role is specifically designed to grant users the permissions needed to create and customize apps, flows, and components in the Dataverse environment. This role is essential for those who are tasked with developing solutions that leverage the data and capabilities of Dataverse but do not necessarily have full administrative responsibilities.
Environment Makers can create custom entities, fields, and relations, as well as utilize any of the built-in features in Dataverse to tailor the environment to fit specific use cases. This role empowers individuals to enable productivity by allowing them to modify and adapt the Dataverse environment according to the needs of their organization.
In contrast, the Application Administrator primarily focuses on managing applications within the environment, the System Administrator has comprehensive permissions that cover a broad range of administrative tasks beyond just customization, and the Power User may have enhanced access to data but does not possess the same level of customization capabilities as an Environment Maker. Thus, the Environment Maker role is uniquely suited to the responsibilities related to customizing the Dataverse environment.
