Hello

Just wondering if anybody knows how the suggestion box template in powerapps works.

I can see it says log in as user so am wondering how does the app pick up a user Id?

Thanks

Hi @eirfyp

Most of that apps using User().Email and User().FullName functions to pull data about current logged user from it's current logged office365 account.

There is also a Office365users Connector what can pull even more data including hierarchy in the company and some more datils.

Hi @eirfyp

You will need to work with Collection what is set up in each of the buttons to Log In

Collect(Users,{ID: 1, Name: "Carol Curtis", Email: "user1@contoso.com", Password: "teste123",Group:"User"},{ID: 2, Name: "Camron Willis", Email: "user2@contoso.com", Password: "teste123",Group:"User"},{ID: 3, Name: "Teagan Connell", Email: "admin@contoso.com", Password: "teste123",Group:"Administrator"},{ID: 4, Name: "Kelsey Grenville", Email: "user4@contoso.com", Password: "teste123",Group:"User"}));

and customise it to your needs the current login User().Email will be match with that collection and grant access you set up for that user.

Hi @eirfyp

You don't need to add anything manually but to sort this You will need to learn to work with Collections and SP or AD Security Groups Office365Users connector provide you access to all users in Your company but this will be complicated to implement I will suggest to use just SP Security Group and use Owner, Member, Visitor Hierarchy to manage this app the issue here is I'm not that good in explaining how exactly to achieve this due to my poor English and You do not have experience from what I see to figure it out on Your own.

Maybe one of the Super Users willing to help and show You an Example or You will need to look for few tutorials.

Sorry i could not be more Help
