Powerapps access to another SINGLE PERSONS Calendar

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 94

Though Powerapps, I am trying to access other person's Work calendars within our institution. I know this is against the grain as far as permission go within Office365.

 

The obvious thought is to have each of these calendars set to share. This is not against the Office365 grain, but it does not seem like this is possible yet - "the connection is based on user credentials, so once the connection is added, the app is only available to get data from the mailbox of the corresponding user, there is no way that I am aware of to access other user's Mailbox"

Well here is where my situation differs a bit. Before building it out, I wanted to see if anyone can tell me for sure it won't work. 

 

Through some third party software, the Work calendars for each employee are polled from a practice management database and are written out/updated on the their individual outlook Work calendars. They also are written out to a admin outlook account where their schedules can be seen. In fact making a powerapp logged into this admin account indeed has access to all the calendar data.

 

I share this app with my personal login, Logout admin, login my personal account, run the app. I get the usual one time permissions request. I click use a different account which seems buggy because I just adds another choice of my personal account. In any event I permit my personal account. Not a surprise, no data available.

So explicitly, Is Powerapps able to see data for a ANOTHER SINGLE PERSON's Calendar data? If so how, and can you think of security implications beyond showing the calendar data?

    The calendar would need to be shared by the user with the account for the user running the app.  

    Once you have that shared, you can use the Office365Outlook.CalendarGetTablesV2() action to get all of the calendars that you have access to in your App (this can be the source of your Gallery - assume you went with that based on your last post on this issue).

    The above action will return the name of the persons calendar and the ID.  The ID can then be used to get all the calendar items from their calendar.

    But, there is no way that I am aware of to just open any users calendar without having them share it with you.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    Hi all,

     

    I have the same scenario need to get others calendar event information shared with me.

    And I tried CalendarGetTablesV2, only can get my own calendar data, 

    Can anybody advise how to show other people's calendar data which has already finished the shared setting.
