You have to already be logged in to Azure Ad to be able to run the Power App. So having a login screen on a Power App really serves no purpose. Power Apps is not designed to be a security layer.

Hi @sdnd2000,

Have you solved your problem?

Do you want to validate the user with AD authentication in the login screen?

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Actually, each user who access to Power Apps is already validated with Active Directory by design. The User functions in Power Apps will give you access to that user's name, email, and department if you like.

In short, the Power Apps could not hold any password any time. The AD authentication has done everything related to validation before you access to the Power Apps app.

If you really want to achieve this in Power Apps, I think you should create a data source to hold the user info and validate it in canvas app.

I have a very similar query.

We have a kiosk device that is logged into the PowerApps Container as a generic service account.

Within the PowerApps Canvas app we would like the user to authenticate themselves using AzureAD credentials so we can then use them within a variable.

I appreciate we could have the user close the PowerApps container and login to the container as themselves however with Azure Shared devices on Android OS the PowerApps container application does not support the login/logout feature and therefore stays logged in to the local user accounts on the device.

Any ideas?

Nope PowerApps still does not work properly with Azure Shared device kiosk log in and out.

We had to move away from azure authentication.

The PowerApps App on Android was supposed to be updated in the summer 2022
