Change environment users login to by default

Posted on by AndrewGeddes 47

Hey folks,

 

We're looking to have a production environment that is separate from Default so we can control basically a list of authoritative apps that don't coexist with everything else that's created. 

 

Is it possible to force PowerApps there when a user access right away? Or must we use "default" and they have to know to switch? 

 

Problem is - environment swapping really won't be something folks understand, given a lot of solutions we build are targeting non-tech savvy users.

 

Thanks

    Hi @AndrewGeddes,

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

    Do you want to switch/change environment dynamically when a end user access an app?

    Switching/changing environment dynamically is not supported within PowerApps currently. If you want to  switch/change environment dynamically when a end user access an app, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs currently.

    If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hi @AndrewGeddes,

     

    Instead of making the end users swapping environment, I would create a site(or a powerapp) and list the url of those apps, so on click, they will be taken to the corresponding powerapps.

    If if you powerapps, Launch function works like 

    Launch("https://web.powerapps.com/apps/{AppID}")

     

    Thanks,

    Nabin
