Posted on by jamesyang

Hello,

For a model driven app, in a main form, how to hide commands in form's command bar. for example, we want to hide these buttons

* Deactivate

* Email a link

* assign

We also want to write our own code for "Share a link".

how to implement this? we can write web resources, but generally want to avoid PCF and plug in development

Most everything in PowerApps has a Visible property. You can put a variable in that property and then change the value to toggle the visibility. You can limit controls to certain users, you can make controls visible after certain fields are filled in, it is really up to you. For the sharing code you will probably want to use the Launch command

Sorry - I misread what you were saying -
I thought you were talking about the SP Form that you can customize in PowerApps. Can you post a screen shot of what you want to customize?

Now I see - this is not a PowerApp - that is why I was unsure which buttons you were referring to. Your issue is in Dynamics. I would suggest you try this forum:

Thanks. We will try the ribbon workbench.
as an alternative solution, can we use a custom security role to remove the commands: update, assign, email? i would think if a user does not have these permissions, the commands will automatically be hidden.
