allow direct service account patching from PowerApps or avoid users to edit SharePoint list directly.

To prevent PowerApps users from editing the SharePoint list directly (i.e., through the SharePoint backend), while still allowing them to use the app from personal account. and patch data from service account to avoid data manipulations from backend to avoid app logics. 

this is very essentials feature to control the data manipulation.

    Use power automate for this.
     
    Trigger power automate from powerapps for all create , update and delete operation. Set Run Only to service account for sharepoint connector. This will run sharepoint actions in the context for service account and not a user who runs it.
     
    Instead of Provided by run only user , select service account connection.
