Checking Environment Variables in Power Platform using PowerShell

Loading

To check environment variables in Power Platform using PowerShell, follow these steps:


Step 1: Install Required PowerShell Modules

Before running Power Platform commands, install and import the required modules.

# Install Power Platform PowerShell module if not installed
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerPlatform.Dataverse.Client -Scope CurrentUser -Force -AllowClobber
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser -Force

Step 2: Connect to Power Platform

Authenticate using your credentials or service principal.

# Connect using interactive login
Add-PowerAppsAccount

OR, if using a service principal:

# Connect using a service principal (Requires Application ID, Tenant ID, and Certificate)
$AppId = "YOUR_APP_ID"
$TenantId = "YOUR_TENANT_ID"
$CertificateThumbprint = "YOUR_CERT_THUMBPRINT"

Connect-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -ApplicationId $AppId -TenantId $TenantId -CertificateThumbprint $CertificateThumbprint

Step 3: Retrieve Environment Variables

To list all environment variables in a specific environment, use:

# Get all environments
$environments = Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironment

# Select an environment (modify accordingly)
$envId = ($environments | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -eq "Your Environment Name" }).EnvironmentName

# Get all environment variables for the selected environment
$envVariables = Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentVariable -EnvironmentName $envId

# Display the environment variables
$envVariables | Format-Table DisplayName, DefaultValue, Value, SchemaName

Step 4: Export Environment Variables to a CSV File

To store the environment variables in a file:

$envVariables | Select-Object DisplayName, DefaultValue, Value, SchemaName | Export-Csv -Path "C:\PowerPlatform\EnvVariables.csv" -NoTypeInformation

Step 5: Check a Specific Environment Variable

If you need details about a specific variable, modify this:

$variableName = "YourVariableName"
$specificVariable = $envVariables | Where-Object { $_.DisplayName -eq $variableName }
$specificVariable

Step 6: Disconnect Session (Optional)

After execution, disconnect the session.
