I am planning on using the Dataverse to store some data for an upcoming project. Some of the data I am capturing is similar to that of the User table. What is the User table use? Is the table used to grant users access to PowerApps somehow? If so, I would like to prevent this from happening.
Hi @duncant,
Yes, the Users table is a built in table needed to manage users in an environment. That combined with security roles determine what access a user has to the environment.
Could you clarify on what you want to prevent from happening? Correctly using a (Azure AD) Security group on the environment + Security Roles will prevent erroneous access to tables such as Users or other tables you don't want users to access.
More information on security is available here.

I'm trying out the Dataverse while at the same time learning and becoming aware of security roles within the Power Platform.
Understood, that link is part of the Manage Users section in the documentation which goes into a lot of depth, so I definitely recommend having a read of that entire section to get an understanding of access. This page is of particular importance when it comes to managing Security Roles.
