Assigning a new owner to a SharepointFormApps Power Apps

Posted on 17 Apr 2023 19:20:23 by 71

We have several Power Apps built from the Form settings.  The creator of these form is not longer with the company, and the creator did not share the form with others.   How do we change ownership of the form?  How do we share it other makers?

 

Notes:

  • The Power App does not show in make.powerapps.microsoft.com because it is not shared,
  • Using PowerApps Admin Center, the Power App is visible, but it cannot be managed or shared
  • Using The COE Admin the App appears but does no show the maker as they are no longer a valid user
  • Using the COE Set Apps Permissions, the app appears but cannot be selected.

Are there other techniques to edit app ownership?

    Hi @SteveFeldman ,

    A bit low-tech, but can you reinstate the account of the person who left (you have 30 days), reset the password and then share the app ? You might also lodge a Support Ticket with Microsoft

    Thank you for your suggestion Warren.   I tried all 3 techniques shown in the article:  Both the Flow and PowerShell returned with the same 409 error: No permission to the 'SharepointFormApp' application that has ID = ....  The COE Powerapps does not show the app in the environment or in the orphaned tabs.

     

    I further researched the error message above and found a few posts which were informative, but did not offer solutions.  FYI:

    https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74157150/how-to-recover-a-powerapp

     

    Finally,  I wrote a Flow to obtain all of the Power Apps built from the SharePoint list settings page so we can monitor them.

     

    Regards,

    Steve
