Share powerapps to Teams Channel

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MariaK5 33

Hi All,

I have a canvas app with Sharepoint List behind it.  Users in our teams channel have access to the SP list so all good there. I wanted to give access to the power app to the same teams channel.  I was not looking to imbed it within teams just share to the teams channel.

 

I have been researching but keep getting posts on imbedding in teams.

 

How do i share access to the powerapp to members of  my teams channel?

 

Thanks.

    I'm assuming you didn't build it in Teams.  If you had there is a button in the editor that publishes it to a specific Team.  But Teams membership is based on an Office 365 group.  So you can just share the app with that group.

    That's right. Didn't know that was an option until I started researching how to share with a teams channel.  So the app is built but not in teams.

    How do I find the office365 group for the teams channel?

    You would need to give access to the MS Team.

    The group name is normally the same as the Team name.  If you look at the list of Office 365 groups in the admin center there is a column for Teams status that designates which ones are used for Teams.

    This all sounds logical but i cannot find the name of the group. Where is the admin center?

    Sorry I know this is newbie stuff, but the power apps share is asking for an email address. The address I found for the teams channel in teams does not work.  I know I'm missing something obvious 😞

    Thanks.

    The admin center is the place where global admins manage your tenant.  If you don't have access to that you can also open the SharePoint site behind the Team and look at the members of the SharePoint Members Group.  That will show you the email address for the Team.

    thanks. I did find that site and the email, but for some reason it's @<my company>.onmicrosoft.com instead of the standard @<mycompany>.com  and it does not work.  The same address is on the azure list and the sharepoint list - it's definitely the right one based on users listed, but it does not work with powerapps, it gives an error that the address is not found.

    Try the same name with the @<<mycompany>>.com address.  Groups can have multiple email addresses.  But the one you want is the UPN.

    @MariaK5 , there is one note of interest when sharing a Power App with a M365 Group (MS Teams is powered my a M365 group) and that is the M365 group needs to be security enabled. I believe by default when a new MS Team is created the associated M365 group isn't security enabled. 

     

    Here is a blog post that explains more about sharing a Power App with a M365 group. It also explains how to make the group security enabled.

    @Jeff_Thorpe Sorry to disagree, but all Microsoft 365 groups are SID enabled by design.  Distribution lists can't be used unless they are security enabled.  Take a look at the end of the first paragraph in this article.

    Microsoft 365 Groups and Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs

     

    "You can add or remove people to the group just as you would any other group-based security object in Active Directory".
