Test User receives Error when trying to retrieve data from the network

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

I created a solution which contains a power app and a few Dataverse tables. When I test this app with my admin user (the owner), it works correctly. I shared this power app to a test user. I gave this user the 'Data permissions' of 'Basic User'  to the Dataverse tables associated with this app. When I test the app with this test user, I get an error at the top "Error when trying to retrieve data from the network".

I tried to give this test user "Co-Owner" privileges, and I receive the same error. 

I exported the solution to a Stage environment and tested the same privileges, I get the same situation, where my Admin user works correctly, but my test user does not work correctly. 

 

Any ideas?

Also: There are a lot of posts with this exact error, however they all seem to be associated with lookup errors, which this seems like a permissions error.

    The Test User was not given the required permissions via the Basic User Role.
    I needed to create a custom security role which gave them permissions to read/write onto the custom table.
    Also, I un-checked the defaulted setting to give permissions to model-driven apps.
