BC Virtual Tables works for some users, not for others.

Dear all,

 

I've been trying to set up an app that uses tables from Business Central through Dataverse virtual tables. I have been able to fully develop and test the app with another user, but now that we want to go to acceptance we cannot figure out how to get it to work for our third user. It should be noted that the tables in question are custom pages made by someone else, but since it works for some users I don't think they are the problem??

 

All users in question so far have the Dynamics 365 Business Central Essentials license which should give access to these features through "Power Apps for Dynamics 365", but the environment also has Per Apps capacity. All the users in question have also been assigned these 3 security roles in the environment: basic user, something that translates to authorized or authorized user (tenant not in English), and sysadmin. The app has of course been shared with the user.

In the onstart, the app runs this among others:

 

Collect(
Col_users,
resourceWOPEntity
);

 

To test I have a label on the main page that has a label with CountRows(Col_users) and it always shows a positive number for me, but 0 for our third user. In the studio I can see all the data from all of the columns that are available in the collection. Naturally the lookups I do on that user list also fails for the third user.

 

I'm more experienced with Power Apps in a SharePoint setting, so I might have skipped a step somewhere. But I'm out of ideas. Any ideas?

Edit: the user can view the table in Dataverse, just not in the app.

    We ended up having the third user show us what they did differenty than us, and he turned out to use the Power Apps application from the Windows Store. It all worked fine in the browser and on iPad. I consider this resolved for us.
