Hi ,

I need help if someone can point me to good lists of PROS and CONS between separate Business unit for a department VS sharing Business Unit for multiple deparments

#		Status	PROs	CONS
1	Introduce a new Business Unit (Within the Root BU)	Recommended	1. For organizations that have strict data access policies across lines of business, business units ensure that users can only access the information available to the business unit they're a part.
2	Single BU		??	??

Thanks for your help!!

Hi Partner,

It is recommended to use multiple BUs build structures if you have multiple departments.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/create-edit-business-units

Business units, security roles, and users are linked together in a way that conforms to the role-based security model. Use business units together with security roles to control data access so people see just the information they need to do their jobs.

1.Single BU:

PROs: Easy to understand and use for Beginners, with only one BU, no need to consider security settings for data access by users or teams in different BUs.

CONs: Impacts data security, users may see data outside the scope of work.

2.Multiple BUs:

PROs: Users can securely access data in their own business unit, but they can’t access data in other business units。

CONs: Newcomers may operate in confusion?

I hope you can mark my answer verified if it is helpful! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Leah
