Add documentation for CoE Admin Environment Request app security role requirements

[Copilot]

Users report missing "View" and "Approve Request" buttons in the CoE Admin Environment Request app. This is not a bug—the app correctly hides admin actions from users lacking Global-level privileges on coe_EnvironmentCreationRequest. The issue stems from insufficient documentation around security role requirements.

Documentation Added

User-facing guides:

• .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/troubleshooting-environment-request-admin-app.md - Troubleshooting guide covering 5 root causes (role assignment, app sharing, table permissions, cache, business unit scope)
• docs/coe-knowledge/QUICK-REFERENCE-Missing-Buttons.md - 5-minute resolution checklist with security role comparison table
• docs/coe-knowledge/FAQ-Environment-Request-App.md - 30+ Q&A covering permissions, installation, upgrade scenarios
• docs/coe-knowledge/FLOWCHART-Missing-Buttons-Troubleshooting.md - Visual decision tree and systematic checklist

Team resources:

• docs/coe-knowledge/COE-Kit-Common-GitHub-Responses.md - Reusable response templates for 10+ common issue categories (security, licensing, BYODL, DLP, upgrades)
• docs/coe-knowledge/issue-response-missing-environment-request-options.md - Root cause analysis and step-by-step solution for this specific issue
• docs/coe-knowledge/GITHUB-RESPONSE-Missing-Buttons.md - Ready-to-post issue comment template

Security Role Requirements

Role	Privilege Level	Buttons Visible
Power Platform Maker SR	Basic (own records)	❌
Power Platform Admin SR	Global (all records)	✅

The Admin SR role requires Global-level privileges on coe_EnvironmentCreationRequest for all operations (Read, Write, Create, Delete, Assign, Append, Append To). The canvas app uses conditional visibility based on these permissions.

Resolution Path

1. Assign "Power Platform Admin SR" role via Power Platform Admin Center
2. Share app with user using Admin SR role
3. Clear browser cache completely

This establishes a documentation framework applicable to other common CoE Starter Kit configuration issues.
