Hello Community,

I have migrated my power pages from developer website to production environment. My entity form is disabled, I have checked all the necessary permissions and it was correct. It was the same when it was in the previous environment. I have also checked if the settings "disabled anonymous access" it also has the correct settings which is "none of the sites"

Use governance controls to disable anonymous access | Microsoft Learn

I thought that it was because of the migration thats why it was disabled. So I created another power page from the production environment itself and duplicated everything. Unfortunately, the entity form is still disabled. I have also created a new table with all of the same settings and metadata. This is very frustrating because there are close to 0 content online to be able to solve this. The documentation also is not sufficient to solve the problem. What can be causing this issue if every setting is correct?

I have the permission to create and append for Adminstrators and Anonymous users.

I hope somebody can help. Thank you!

EDIT: the security role for the form setting is set to "Everyone"

Hello @KevinGador

Your Power Pages entity form is showing as disabled, even though all permissions and settings seem correct. This likely means something is blocking access behind the scenes—most often it's a missed configuration in table permissions or site access settings.
Follow these steps to fix:

Check governance setting
Go to Power Platform Admin Center → Resources → Power Pages sites → Governance Controls
Make sure "Disable anonymous access" is set to "None of the sites"

Add table permission
Go to Portal Management app → Table Permissions → Create a new record
Select your table
Permission Type = Global
Access Type = Read (or Create + Append if needed)
Assign Web Role = Anonymous Users

Confirm web role exists
Still in Portal Management app → Web Roles
Search for "Anonymous Users"
Make sure it’s Active = Yes
If it’s missing, create one with exact name

Assign access rule to the page
Portal Management app → Web Pages
Open the page where the form is shown
Scroll to Access Control Rules
Create a new one:
Right = Read
Web Role = Anonymous Users

Clear portal cache
Open your portal URL in browser
Add this at the end:
?portalcacheclear=true

Check form settings
Portal Management → Entity Forms → Open your form
Make sure it is enabled
Confirm the table name is correct
Check the form has no broken fields like unsupported lookups or file/image columns

Try these steps one by one, test after each. If form is still disabled, tell me what part is not working, and I’ll guide next.

Hi @SwatiSTW ,

Thanks for your response . Please see answers below:

1. It is set to "none of the sites"
2. Permission is already set. Create+Append for anonymous and administrators.
3. Web roles exist.
4. Access control created.
5. Added it at the end.
6. I see no entity forms but I assume its "Basic Forms" , everything is correct

still the form is disabled. but my other form with just the same settings is enabled.

the odd thing is when I change the language the form is enabled. What could be the problem?

managed to solve the problem. It was a javascript code that was blocking the form which I forgot I added in the code.
