Marco is employed with PTG Ltd. His task is to create a Power App Portal. He notices that a "User not found" error message displays when a user tries to login into the portal. Given that the user's sign-in information is accurate, Marco has been entrusted with determining the reason for the issue. Which of the following choices should Marco make in order to determine what caused the error?

Answer: Enable diagnostic tools in Lifecycle Services

For Power Apps Portals, enabling diagnostic tools in Lifecycle Services (LCS) provides detailed logging and error information that can help diagnose issues like a 'User not found' error. This allows Marco to investigate the root cause by examining backend processes, authentication flows, and configuration settings, even when user credentials are correct. Custom error messages only change the user experience, not the underlying issue.
