Automate Adding User to PowerPlatform Security Group

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 13

Hi there, 

 

I've made a few apps and tons of automations that tie into each other. the TLDR Version of my problem is I have 2 environments, DEV and PROD and have my apps and flows within a solution that i export from Dev and import to Prod. It works well enough.

 

I found that an issue I had was users didn't have access to run the flows built within the apps. A days  of googling later I found that I had to add the user to a Security Group with 1 specific permission (If i remember correctly its called process). 

 

My company locks the basic user role so i can't modify that. Is there anyway for me to either 

 

A: Assign a security role to all users in the environment that allows that. 

or B: have a flow that assigns a Security Role to a user (don't worry about the trigger I can worry about that. I'm just confused on the logic of it)

    Hello @gabegapSRV 

    You can easily reach this using teams

    A

    1. Copy the Basic user Role to create a new Roles with the "Process" permission Called "Basic User Process" for exemple.
    2. Create an Intra AD Group and Add all users inside
    3. Create a Teams linked to the group and assign "Basic User Process" as security group 

    B

    1. create a simple flow to add the user instead of the security group. (ps : you will also have to add it to the Environment security group)

    hope this helps

    Hi there! Thanks for your response. 

     

    I'm still pretty new to the administrator side of the Power Platform and I'm not an Entra Admin so I don't have access to that.

    When I was talking about security groups, I was actually referring to the Security Groups within the Power Platform not Entra ID security groups.

    I already have a flow that adds users to the app itself however, I am a bit confused on how I could even accomplish adding them to a security group within my Environment.
