Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I've an exception when I tried to run the PowerShell command Get-AdminPowerApp after doing a connection with a Global Tenant Admin account in our Production Tenant (throught the command Add-PowerAppsAccount). The exception throw this message: "Invalid JSON primitive: Access":

I tried the same command in our Dev Tenant and it works OK and I executed the Power Automate command: Get-AdminFlow, with the same admin user in the same Production Tenant and it works OK also.

I reviewed all the permissions, and user account has a Plan 2 Power Apps license. I don't know what else to review.

Has anyone else had a similar error or can give us an idea of where to review?

Thanks!

Miguel.

Hi @Anonymous ,

To perform the administration operations in the admin cmdlets, you’ll need the following:

A paid PowerApps Plan 2 license or a PowerApps Plan 2 trial license. You can sign-up for a 30-day trial license at https://web.powerapps.com/trial. Trial licenses can be renewed if they’ve expired.

Office 365 Global Administrator or Azure Active Directory Global Administrator permissions if you need to search through another user’s resources. (Note that Environment Admins only have access to those environments and environment resources for which they have permissions.)

So please check whether you meet the two requirements.

Here's a blog about it in details for your reference:

Best regards,

Hi @v-yutliu-msft ,

Thanks for the reply. But we've already reviewed the permissions (account it's an Office 365 Global Administrator) and it has a PowerApps Plan 2 license.

Anyway, I tested it with a user without these permissions (not Admin and without PowerApps license) in other test Tenant and the exception doesn't appear (obviously it doesn't return results, but it doesn't give "Invalid JSON primitive: Access" exception) so we only reproduce it in this tenant, regardless of the permissions the user has.

Do you know how we could perform some other test to check the connection?

Thanks for your support.

Regards,

Hello,
Finally, I found the solution to this error:
- I was trying to access from a client environment that has a network proxy.
- I could access Admin Flow commands properly, but I always had the access error described above when running the Admin Power Apps commands.
- After investigating the error, we managed to solve it by logging into the proxy before running the Admin Power Apps commands:
$Wcl=New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$Creds=Get-Credential
$Wcl.Proxy.Credentials=$Creds
- Once logged into the proxy, the Get-AdminPowerApp command started working correctly.
Regards,
Miguel.
