Error when trying to Create a New App - Start with Data

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 706

Good morning, All.

 

When trying to create an app but selecting 

+New App

Start with Data

 

The page displays the option for SharePoint Excel and SQL, but times out / displays an error around the SharePoint component

 

This is with an unlicensed user, in the default environment. (I would expect it to work as SharePoint isn't a premium connector?)

Any ideas?

Thank you

    hey @RandomDept 

     

    Do you want this 3 screen app that will be created using the way you do it? Or do you want to build it from scratch? If second option is the one you wanna go, you can simply create a app from blank and then connect whatever datasource you want to use.

     

    Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

    If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.

    I believe this was resolved by adding the user to the Application Administrator Role in Entra

    I do not recommend making them an Admin, it it NOT necessary, but you have to make sure you give
     
    1) a license for Power Apps
    2) add them to SharePoint with a Role (at least contributor on that site)
    3) add them to SQL permissions (you have options on this one)
    4) add their roles in the environment such as Basic User / Customizer etc
