ROLE BASED CONTROL - POWER APP

Report

Posted on by Vumboni_Msimang

I have an app with the mainscreen (landing page) Screen1. It has two buttons - Admin and User. These are on a sharepoint intended to control user access.

I want the Admin button to only be visible if the user is an Admin but I am not succeeding at all.
I applied this code to App:
Set(currentUser, User());
Set(
currentUserRole,
LookUp(
'User Access',
'User'.Email = currentUser.Email,
Role
)
);

And I tried applying this code:
currentUserRole = "Admin" - to the visible property of the admin button but it did not work.

Please assist. I am fairly frustrated.

hi, this is how i tackle the same task:

I'm saving User().EntraObjectId in the sharepoint (emails can be unreliable when someone changes name et.)

so have two columns minimum: user_id and user_role

then on visible of the control i put:

If(LookUp(users_list, user_id=User().EntraObjectId).user_role="admin", true,false)

i actually use numbers for role so you can change the name retrospectively byt you can use hardcoded names like"admin" if you like.
