Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help.

We have a powerapp that has a SharePoint backend.
We use the logged on user from office 365 and when opening the power app it's seamless. (user has access to the SharePoint backend and the powerapp)
We are relying on users logging off shared machines and logging back on.
We have a case, where a user did not log off, and another user went to Outlook and signed out and signed back in with her own office 365 ID
Issue: The PowerApp was still using the previous user credentials (so new user coudl see previous user data in power app)

Clearly, the user did not restart the machine and is in breach of company policy.

Is there anyway we can detect if this happens again that the power app automatically signs out?

Also, is there a way to sign out of power app without signing off office 365 in full? So are Apple just contain an exit button that signs out and closes the app not outlook or anything else?

Thanks

Any help reallly appreicted

Hi,

So not really on the app runs as person A and the rest runs as person B, I mean it IS possible, but it requires that people are using Incognito browsers etc etc

As for signing them out.

I am not sure how or if this would work for sure.

1. Add a Timer to your Main Screen

2. in the App OnStart add a variable Set(_currentUser, User().Email);

You can't really close the app, but you would have to make it so that your APP, has the ability to wipe the data and screens clean in the Timer, and only display a message that says Close and Re-open app or something easier do the below

1. Add a Square (rectangle share) that covers the Screen fully of your app

1a. After adding it, select it in the left screen navigation. Click ... and say bring to Front, so its on top of everything.

2. Make it Black or Dark Grey something

3. Make it invisible with a variable _isVisible

3a. in the OnVisible of the screen put

Set(_isVisible, false);

3b. in the Shapres visible property put _isVisible

4. In the Timer, have it fire off.... like every XX seconds.

In the timer check

If(_currentUser <> User().Email,

Set(_isVisible, true);

);
