On the other hand, I've tried to use the GrantAccess operation from the dataverse api with no success
(I can make the post request, however, i get an empty 204 response from the server, and If I check the share functionality from the ui I see no changes)
This is the body in case anyone has any info on the matter:
{ "Target": { "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.canvasapp", "canvasappid": "[app guid]" }, "PrincipalAccess": { "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.PrincipalAccess", "AccessMask": "ReadAccess", "Principal": { "@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.team", "ownerid": "[team guid]" } } }

Did a little bit of digging and you can actually use the same apis the powershell command uses (which btw are the same that the ui use when you do the process from the "share" button on the app.
I case someone is wondering this is the endpoint (POST):
{{powerappsUrl}}scopes/admin/environments/{{environmenName}}/apps/{{appId}}/modifyPermissions?api-version=2016-11-01&$filter=environment%20eq%20'{{environmenName}}'
Where:
powerappsUrl: https://api.powerapps.com/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/
environmenName: The Environment ID exactly as it appears under the developer resources section on he settings button
appId: The application id as it appears on the app details section
As for the body I used the following json object:
{ "put": [ { "properties": { "NotifyShareTargetOption": "DoNotNotify", "roleName": "CanView", "capabilities": [], "principal": { "email": null, "type": "Group", "id": "[azureactivedirectoryobjectid]", "tenantId": "null" } } } ] }
The parameters for this call can be found here on the Set-AdminPowerAppRoleAssignment command documentation

Cheers!

Hi @jjaramillo ,

At my knowledge, there are no powerapps APIs for us to use.

WorkAround:

1\ Share app with users with powershell.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powerapps.administration.powershell/set-adminpowerapproleassignment?view=pa-ps-latest

2\ Use Powerapps for admin connector.

A nice blog which shows how to use this connector.
