This is No. Power Virtual Agents (now Microsoft Copilot Studio) conversation transcripts are saved to Microsoft Dataverse automatically by default. This storage behavior is system-managed and does not rely on the customer (end-user) manually deleting the data "after a chat session" to prevent it from being saved. Furthermore, retention is typically handled by system Bulk Record Deletion jobs (defaulting to 1 month) or environment-level settings configured by administrators, not by per-session user actions.

Statement 2: This is No. Power Automate flows do not operate with administrative privileges at all times. They execute in the security context of the connections used (e.g., the flow maker's credentials) or the Run-only user initiating the flow. They are limited to the permissions granted to those specific accounts and do not inherently possess elevated or system administrator rights.

Confirming default storage: "Transcripts are saved to Dataverse automatically and, by default, makers in your organization can view and download transcripts..."

Confirming retention logic: "By default, a pre-configured bulk delete job will remove all conversation transcripts older than a month."

Confirming run context: "Run-only users... invoke the flow... the context of the user running the flow is passed instead of using the connection configured in the flow [if configured]."

Confirming privileges: Flows respect the "Least privilege" principle and do not bypass the security roles of the connection user.

Confirming flows run in user or system context based on specific configuration, not "administrative privileges at all times."
