How can I restrict users to access Dataverse directly and to access only through Canvas App

Hi,

 

Is there any way to stop users accessing the Dataverse directly? We want users to access dataverse data and do CRUD operations only through the Canvas App and not directly through Dataverse.

 

 

Thanks & Regards

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You could just give your user a 'Basic User' security role.

    Then you could modify some table's create/read/write... privilege of the 'Basic User' security role.

    Finally, share the app with the user.

    Heii @v-xiaochen-msft 

    Good solution!
    However will the endusers still have access in some kind of way (except through the App)? For example, will they still be able to use the API endpoint to manipulate the data?
