Hi @ArnoldB ,
You can do it with Power Automate.
I made a sample for you.
Create a comboBox and a button where the user can choose who to access.

Did your flow run successfully? Could you show me some screenshots of the details of the flow running history?
Besides, do you want the user to receive the message in chat, or in the teams channel?

I did and it seems, it still have error as shown in below.
Body message
In PowerApps, 'person' may be a predefined variable. Please change the name of the variable 'person' to something else.
After modification, please refresh your flow in powerapps edit mode.
I just did this same thing and discovered that the recipient can have no trailing semicolon, nor can it contain the email of the person running the flow. The second restriction does not seem to apply, but you should remove the trailing semicolon from the Post Message action Recipient field.
