Hi,

I have to authenticate user by their roles, previously I used to keep formula in onstart it used to work fine, but since power apps included new feature (i.e startscreen), I am not able to use this formula neither in onstart nor in startscreen both ways it is showing error.

    Hi @Hemasai1999 :

    The point is that StartScreen is a data flow property that can't contain behavior functions.In addition, Global variables and collections, including those created in OnStart, are not available in StartScreen

    I think this link will help you a lot:

    StartScreen property

    You could try to set the app's StartScreen property to:

    With(
     {varRole:LookUp(XXXXXXX)},
     If(
     varRole.Role="LP",
     'Lp screen',
     varRole.Role="Admin",
     'Admin screen',
     varRole.Role="Trainer",
     'Trainer Screen screen',
     varRole.Role="LC",
     'LC screen',
     'No Access screen'
     )
    )

    Best Regards,

    Bof
