Hi
I'm looking into using Power Pages as a halfway point between PowerApps and SharePoint, in essence creating an Intranet site that can leverage data held in Dataverse (managed by a suite of PowerApps).
Other posts have suggested that using Power Pages in this way is likely to be the way forward, in part due to the ease of construction and reduced time to live. There are suggestions that Power Pages may start taking ground away from SharePoint.
I don't need users to Authenticate (login) to see the information but I do need to restrict access so only users from our company can access the information.
If I keep the site Private I can provide access to named individuals (there doesn't appear to be the option to use groups). But if I don't need them to authenticate how will the site know who they are? Also, how does this affect licencing?
If I set the site to Public then anyone with the link can view the site. I've followed the recommendations about configuring the HTTP settings so search engines etc. won't find the site. However, how can we configure the site so that it will only accept visitors who come from a specific starting point (as you can with traditional websites). I've been reading through the documentation on the Web Access Firewall (WAF) and was hoping there would be something in that but I didn't find anything (I haven't enabled the WAF yet so there may be more to come).
The eventual aim is to include the Power Pages within a Teams channel, much the same way that you can with PowerApps. This will then enable users to interact with content with the site in Teams and/or a browser (either direct URL or by opening from Teams).
I suspect that keeping the site private will be the way to go but having to provide access to individuals one-by-one will be a pain. Especially as we already have Security Groups and Office 365 groups with everybody in already. And that still leaves the question of licencing.
Thanks in advance.
