Update my incident alone in power app

Hi,

I have developed a power app so that employees can make the changes in the incidents i.e.

On the click of gallery item, employee is able to see the remaining column values in the edit form.

In the update button, patch function has been used to update the info back to the list.

But the employee should be able to update his incident alone via power app.

There is a column called RaisedBy with type people picker.

So is there any possibility to validate if the current logged in user is matching with Raisedby column, then only update should happen.

Please let me know the possibilities

Regards,

Sudheer

Yes, you can use for example User().Email to get the current user using the app. And you can use it to filter a datasource with in a gallery. Let me know if you need more help :)

Hi Sudheer

One option would be to disable the save button if the RaisedBy value doesn't match the current user. You would add formula like this to the DisplayMode property of the button.

If(YourGallery.Selected.RaisedBy.Email = User().Email DisplayMode.Edit, DisplayMode.Disabled )

User().Mail function may look like it is getting the current user’s email, but it is actually the current user’s User Principal name.

Use Office365Users connector to get the current users email address:
Office365Users.UserProfile(User().Mail).Mail
