I am new to Powerapps and Dataverse so this may be a user error. That said, I created an app using Dataverse tables but I am unable to share the connections with my org. Below is the error message I am getting when I click share. Please let me know if you see anything obvious that is causing this issue.
You can't share a Dataverse connection. Simply share the app and let the user login and consent. It will create a connection for them behind the scenes... is this not working?
Eric - your response makes sense but, unless I am missing some detail you included, I cannot follow through with your point #2. When I try to share the Dataverse connection I am getting an error message stating I cannot share this connection. I am trying to get to the bottom of why this error is occuring even though everyone keeps instructing me to explicitly share using this process/function.
It would be great if someone could explain why this error is happening so I can share the connection.
Hi @Appmess,
There's a few things to consider, and I can understand that it can be a bit confusing at first. The platform is quite robust to support enterprise scale and therefore have lots of capabilities to consider to be scalable/flexible/governable/maintainable/etc...
Hope this clarifies a little!
Thanks for the response Chris. I read through the document you shared and I am still lost. I don't have any custom connectors, on premise gateways, .... I just have a Dataverse table. The article you linked here mentions Explicit sharing but I don't see any details on how to explicitly share. Where do I manage the sharing for users assuming I want everyone in my org to have access to the table for the purpose of using the app.
Just an aside comment here but if Dataverse was designed to work seamlessly with Powerapps why is it so complicated to use this data source when Powerapps is so simple?
Hi @Appmess,
Connections like Dataverse can't be shared implicitly with your app because they explicitly require each user to establish their own connection and have security roles assigned to them.
More information about connections is described here.
