Powerapp requesting access to connector (I think) no longer required for app function

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello All,

 

I've made a powerapp.  During testing earlier in development I added email integration into some flows used by the app as an error check (if a flow failed a certain way it would email me about it).  I don't need and can't have an outlook connection to my user base at final launch so I tried to remove the connector from the app so it would stop prompting users for permissions.  After removing every instance of the email connector (there were only 2 or 3) and deleting the connector from the "used connections" page in the app details it still requests access to user outlook accounts.

 

The only thing I can think of now is the User() function call.  Does the User().Email call use the outlook connector? or is that a call to the general Office environment? Are there any other common areas where outlook connectors can hide?

 

Cheers,

ARatherChillyCanadian

    Can you try the following ideas?

    #1  Re-publish the app

     

    #2  Clear your web-broswer cache (most likely the problem).

     

    #3  Export the app and re-import.

    Thanks for your help but no dice.  I did all three suggestions but nothing's changed.  I've also had other users attempt from their machines/accounts and they still have the same result (so its probably not just my browser instance).  Any more ideas?

     

    I'm confident its fully moved because it doesn't even show-up in the Data Sources "in your app" section any longer.

     

    Is there more information I can give that would help?
