We would like to allow an external freelancer to develop power apps on our share point.
Can this be done without any security risks?
We thought about setting up a dedicated SharePoint and allowing only access to this SharePoint.
The freelancer has no answer access rights. Is there anything else that we have to take into account?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge here with us!
Well, for one thing, as soon as you give anyone the M365 licensing to get access to your SharePoint site, you are implicitly granting them access to Teams (if you use it). That would immediately give them access to any Teams or Channels in there that are public (including any associated SharePoint sites or Dataverse for Teams databases), which might be more access than you mean to grant.
You could avoid this by not licensing the external user for M365 and just giving them the PowerApps license instead, then you could share the SharePoint content they need to work with (List, Library, whatever). This would be functional, but it would carry the downside of them not being able to create a Connector to SharePoint, so someone internal would need to initiate the apps and create the connectors, then share the app with your contractor.
