A. B. C. D. E.

Correct Answers: B and D

If you need to share your model-driven app, you need to have Environment Maker or System Administrator's role.

Environment Maker can create new resources, like apps, flows, connections, gateways, share the apps with the users in an organization.

But this role does not have privileges to access the environment's data.

System Administrator has full permission to the environment, including managing the security roles.

Option A is incorrect because System Customizer has full permissions to customize the environment, but they can only view records for the tables they create.

This role cannot share a model-driven app.

Option C is incorrect because Basic Users can run an app in the environment and access the data they create.

This role cannot share a model-driven app.

Option E is incorrect because Environment Admin can perform all administrative tasks in the environment without a provisioned Dataverse database.

This role does not exist in the environments with the Dataverse database.

To share a model-driven app with a team, you need to have appropriate security roles and permissions. The correct answer for this question is option A: System Customizer.

Here's why:

  1. System Customizer: A System Customizer has the necessary privileges to create and modify model-driven apps. They can also create and modify custom entities, fields, and forms. This role can manage security roles and privileges for other users and can share apps with users.

  2. System Administrator: A System Administrator has all the privileges of a System Customizer, plus additional permissions. They can manage all aspects of the system, including user accounts, security, and integrations. However, this role may not be necessary for sharing a model-driven app with a team.

  3. Basic User: A Basic User can access the model-driven app and perform tasks assigned to them. They cannot create or modify the app or any of its components.

  4. Environment Maker: An Environment Maker can create and manage environments, but they may not have the necessary permissions to share a model-driven app with a team.

  5. Environment Admin: An Environment Admin can manage environments and their resources, but may not have the necessary permissions to share a model-driven app with a team.

Therefore, to share a model-driven app with a team, you should have the System Customizer security role.
