Governance Strategy for Dataverse
Hello!
I started using Power Apps with Canvas + SP List, moved on to Dataverse for Teams (free), before moving into Dataverse. I feel stupid for claiming this, but I genuinely thought, “once I have a premium license, I have infinite data storage.” Thinking about it more, that just doesn’t make sense to me.
So what does storage actually look like? Here is my thinking - users purchase premium licensing. Dataverse storage capacity gets added to overall tenant. Administrators will then provision environments to the users who purchased the premium licensing.
This generally makes sense, but there are various situations where I can see abuse / mis-use. Namely, how does an organization ensure the storage that the users purchased gets siphoned to them and only them? What stops someone from using more Dataverse storage than they purchased, which then means there’s less storage for other teams in an organization?
Sorry if this is confusing. I just am genuinely curious how large organizations handle this. It would be great to be like, “Yeah, this group purchases X licenses, which is Y storage. So throughout all their environments, if the group exceeds Y storage, then stop.” Or something like that.
