I had created an app that is using the O365 Users (Email) matches the email in an SharePoint Employee List. We have recently set up another tenant that we will be moving to and some of the users are in that tenant with a different email address, but they are listed in the SharePoint Employee list. I need to be able to capture who the person is because they are filling out a survey and I am sending reminders to the ones that have not completed. On my app start I have variable for:

Set(varUser, Office365Users.UserProfileV2(User().Email).mail);
 
which I am using throughout the app to verify if the varUser has an entry in the Survey list on Sharepoint.
 
My thought was my first screen would be for the user to pick their name from the dropdown (Employee List) and set that as the varUser.
 
Is that possible?

@kmw1130,

You are using the Office365Users connector this will only looks up profiles in the current environment (tenant).

If the same person exists in another tenant (with a different email), Office365Users.UserProfileV2(User().Email) won’t find the cross‑tenant account, and your varUser logic won’t match.

Hi @kmw1130,

Adding to @MS.Ragavendar's post, if you simply want their name and/or email address, use this
Set( varUser, User() )

You can then use one of those fields varUser.FullName or varUser.Email to look up your data source.
