User table Lookup not returning results

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 143

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a table called Applications and a column called SystemUser (lookup to User table). I want to pull up a list of people from the User table and assign a single person to the SystemUser column in the Application table. I have no filters on the Lookup, but I will eventually narrow the list of people to choose from.


When I run the application and edit a record, I select the Magnifying glass to pull up a list of people from the User table; I get the message:

There are no records to display.

 

What I've done:

  • Application table
    • User Column of type Lookup
    • Related table: User
  • Edit form
    • Permissions
      • Access Type: Global
      • Permission to: All options checked
      • Roles: Authenticated
    • Child Permission
      • Permission Name: Webteam List
      • Table: SystemUser
      • Relationship: cr94c_SystemUser_SystemUser_webapps_Application

I think I got it set up correctly. I'm all ears if there is another way to accomplish my objective.

 

Thanks,

Ray

    Hi @Ray_Garza,

     

    can you try setting up the permission for the user table as well?

    Append and Append to should be checked to all tables you are using.

     

    Try to insert a normal view of application and users somewhere in a test site. If you can see all records the lookup should see them as well when using the same permissions.

    Hope that helps.

    Morning @Lucas001 

     

    The table permissions suggestion is what worked. I would have not thought of that!

     

    Using Power Apps Portal Management, I went to Table Permissions and created a new Permission for the User table as shown below. Now, in the application, I see all the users! I just need to create a filter to narrow down the selection and I am good to go.

     

    Thank You for your assistance,

    Ray
