Most of the beginners, gets confused between a Tenant and Environment in Power Platform. Lets understand the differences and learn how to manually fetch ‘Tenant Id’ and ‘Environment Id’.

What is Tenant:

• A Tenant is the overall organization or instance of Power Platform that a user belongs to.
• It can be thought of as a container for all the environments, users, and data associated with an organization.
• A tenant has a unique domain name, such as myorganization.crm.dynamics.com.

What is an Environment:

• Environment is a space to store, manage, and share your organization’s business data, apps, chatbots, and flows.

How an Environment is different than Tenant:

• A Tenant is the overall organization or instance of Power Platform.
• An Environment is a separate space within a Tenant.
• Multiple environments can exist within a single tenant, and each environment can be customized independently of others.

How to manually fetch ‘Tenant ID’ and ‘Environment ID’:

The ‘Tenant ID’ is assigned to a tenant when it is created. It is generated by Microsoft and cannot be changed. To fetch ‘Tenant ID’ and ‘Environment ID’ in ‘Power Platform’
