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.


In summary, you need appropriate security role membership, the Dataverse Accelerator solution, and optionally the Low code plug-ins for connectors solution to create a low-code plug-in.
