To create a low-code plug-in, you need to meet the following prerequisites:


1. Membership in the System Administrator or System Customizer security role in the Power Platform environment.

2. Download and install the Dataverse Accelerator solution from AppSource.
  • Sign in to AppSource.
  • Search for the Dataverse Accelerator and select "Get it now."
  • In the Power Platform admin center's Dynamics 365 apps page, choose the desired environment.
  • Review and accept the legal terms and privacy statement.
  • Select "Install."

3. Install the Low code plug-ins for connectors solution (optional):
  • On the next screen, select the same environment.
  • You can choose to include the Low code plug-ins for connectors solution, but make sure to read about this option before deciding. It can be installed later if needed.
  •  Agree to the terms of service.
  • Select "Install."

4. Once the solution import is complete, the status will be set to "Enabled" next to the Dataverse Accelerator.
