Office365Users not available for External Users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by TheSlawekG 119

Hi,

 

I'm using the Drop-down menu with AllowedValues like:

Filter(Office365Users.SearchUser({top:500}), CompanyName = "My Company")

 

It works perfectly for Internal users but now I have an External user who doesn't get any error but also doesn't get the names in the drop-down menu.

Is there a solution to this other than adding the users to an SP List and using the list instead of Office365Users?

 

Thank you.

Regards

 

Slawek

    Hello, @TheSlawekG 
    The reason why your external user is not getting any names in the drop-down menu is likely because the Office365Users connector is designed to retrieve users from your organization's Microsoft 365 or Azure AD tenant, and external users are not included in this list.

    Hi @shubham_7 

     

    The app and the users' directory are in one environment.

    The user who is accessing the app is an External user.

    The external user is from Company B. The PowerApp is in Company A and the drop-down menu is empty for the external user but should include the Company A user list. However, the list is shown for users from Company A.

     

    Looks like I will need to add the names manually.

     

    Thanks

    Can I somehow add a couple of values to the syntax?

    Like:

    Filter(Office365Users.SearchUser({top:500}), CompanyName = "My Company") & "Name 1" & "Name 2"

     

    As a temporary solution that would work for me as well but the above syntax is not working.

     

    Thanks
