User Permissions on Underlying Data sources

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

Hi all,

I am learning power apps for our organization. I have put together a very basic form with CRUD operations. However, when I share the canvas app with other users, they can see the app, but they don't have the permissions to add/edit data. The data is in tables I created in Power Apps (Not linked to an outside data source) Here is what I have tried so far:

1. I have given the user access to the App. They open the link and see the app just fine.

2. I have given them access to the underlying data tables as a "Basic User" Role.


Here I gave access to the user

Here, I made sure they had access to the underlying tables:

And here is what that user sees when they try to use the form to edit the data:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Power Apps doesn't provide a security layer.  Its just a User Interface. Users of the app must have permissions to the underlying data source the app is working with.  Basic user evidently isn't enough permissions for creating rows in the table.

    I figured it out. I had to create a new Security class with permissions to my specific custom tables. Just took a bit to find where that stuff is. thanks!
