I built a PowerApp that has 2 connections:

Office 365 User - Office 365
SharePoint - Office 365

Issue:

Some users (in remote locations, not at headquarters).Can't open the PowerApp. They are stopped when prompted to sign into the data connections for (Office 365 users, and SharePoint). They get the error "We weren't able to add this connection. Please try again." and the app does not open. These remote locations have poor internet bandwidth. Could that be the issue?

App high level Summary of actions:

Displays User Profile information (Profile pictures, name, Department, etc)
On Submit, commits record to SharePoint list

Error text:

Office 365 Users

Connection by Microsoft

View permissions

SharePoint

Connection by Microsoft

View permissions

When I try to sign in it gives me this error.

Error

We weren't able to add this connection. Please try again.

Hi @rcharnock,

Please check if those users have the proper permission on the data source. For example, if they could access the SharePoint list with the correct permission on SharePoint side. Some connection types are shareable, but SharPoint Online requires each user to bring their own connection. Here are some details on sharing of resources: https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/share-app-resources/

Regards,

Mona

They get the following details error.
