Hey everyone,

I created a Solution for my app for basic LMS. I'm also using environment variables for it. This worked pretty fine until users started testing the App and all environment variables where empty for them. I can't find a reason why. The variable was created inside the same soltution as the app exists und when I use code to check the value inside the App it works for me but for useres ist stays blank.

Set(
 gblBaseUrl,
 LookUp(
 'Environment Variable Values',
 'Environment Variable Definition'.'Display Name' = "MY_APP_URL",
 Value
 )
);

I just tried to find the error with a user and he can't see the variables inside the solution only the app which is shared with him as co-owner. Any ideas why this happens?

Hi @dukatz This could be because of different security role for you and affected user. Can you confirm and test by assigning the same security role to affected user.

I have no Admin priveleges on my customers environment and they didn't try anything yet so I can give no update on this issue

This is a Dataverse only solution and will not work for apps that dont have access to that database platform. All users of the app must also have access to Dataverse and that table.

Consider writing a flow to get and return environment information. You can set the flow to run under the developers account all the time and eliminate permission issues.

I am pretty sure a flow can read environment settings regardless of who runs it.

In a meeting with a power platform developer of my customer he stated, that environment variables are only visible by app makers. Therefor I created a custom table in my DB to store them.
