Can multiple users beta test apps in a development environment?

Posted on by 821 Super User 2025 Season 1

I switched over to building my app in PowerApps for web from PowerApps for Teams. In the process I set up a dev and production environment as a best practice. Up until this point I've been the only one testing the app in the development environment. I'm at the point where I need to give other access for beta testing. Is there a way to grant access to the dev environment for testing or do I need to publish the app to the production environment? I figured I'd ask before I go mucking around and break things.

    Hi @futr_vision ,

     

    What resources do you want? Share a canvas app with users?

    I think this is exactly what I am looking for. Do you have a resource I can reference?

    Hi @futr_vision ,

     

    We can share apps in the developer environment with test users.

    If your app uses dataverse tables, you can add users to the develop environment and give them security roles.
