How to change the Environment Administrator

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

First of all, I say that I don't speak English and I use an online translator. Therefore, I apologize for any misunderstandings.

 

A contextualization first: I am having to manage the Apps service in our organization but learning at the same time, so I believe these questions can be simple for everyone.

 

Directly, the situation is that an employee left the company. This one worked developing, creating environments that are still there, with their Apps in production.

 

Another employee must continue the work.

 

However, I, as a Global Administrator, cannot change it. I can't find where to do it. Nor where to give permission for him to record in this environment.

 

I use the 'Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironment' command and find the Environment, BUT, if I run 'Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentRoleAssignment' it doesn't return anything.

 

If I do the same things with an environment, for example, that I created - and didn't even know I had created - the 'AdminPowerAppEnvironmentRoleAssignment' command brings me data about the permissions.

 

When doing so in one of the environments of this user who left, the return is as follows:
Code: 403
Description: Forbidden

 

Does anyone have any tips on how I can overcome this situation in my work?

 

Thank you very much for everyone’s attention and help.

    Re: How to change the Environment Administrator

    You should try and assign the Environment Admin or System Administrator role to the user via the graphical UI in Power Platform Admin Center (PPAC). Access it via http://aka.ms/ppac . Then from the environments list, select the right environment, go to Users, select the new employee (or add him/her to the environment first) and click "manage security roles".

    Here is the MS documentation page for assigning security roles: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/assign-security-roles . For details on the standard security roles, see this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/database-security .
