PowerPages Edit Code in VSCODE Web

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by dex87865 13

Hi All,

 

I must be missing something as I am attempting to edit my "Home" Power Pages page with the "Edit Code" button, I get the message Edit in Visual Studio Code for the Web, however upon loading I get the warning "The extension 'Power Platform Tools wants to sign in using Microsoft".  I press allow and then I sign in with my MS account I use but am immediately shown an error: 

 

Authorization Failed. Please run again to authorize it
There was a permissions problem with the server
 
Any ideas where I need to set the permissions for this to allow Editing of the code in VS?
 
Many thanks

    Hi @bdcollins ,

     

    Can you confirm the Account you're using to Authorize is having administrative rights?

     

    Thanks,

    Saud

    Hi, The account i am using is a Global Administrator, I have also tried another 3 accounts I have with varying permission levels on my tenant. Although I am not sure what specific permissions are needed for this to work.

     

    I am able to edit the Power Pages Home page in non VSCode.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @bdcollins ,

     

    do you have another PowerPage where you could try to use VS Code?

    The reason is to see if something is wrong witht he page or with the rights settings

    Hi,

     

    I have created another site (PowerPage) in my Environment with the same outcome but have not created a new environment.

     

    Thanks

    Hi Everyone, 

     

    I'm also having the same issue, whatever I do, it always says 'Authorization failed' for all users in our organisation. Everyone has admin level access. We did installed XRM Toolbox as workaround, but I think VSCode is far more superior, robust and more interactive as IDE. 

     

    There's no currently support to raise a ticket for this particular product, but I did ask support through 'Power Apps' support, but no response so far. 

     

    So, please any help on this issue will be a great deal for us moving forward as this product has heaps of potential in the market. 

     

    Thanks.

    Have you tried different browser?

     

    I for myself use firefox with the Multi-Account-Container AddOn so that all the new tabs are opened with the same account.

    Hi Lucas, 

    Thank you for responding to this thread. Unfortunately, we did that as well but no luck.

     

    When first open the VS Code, there's prompt saying 'the extension Power Platform tools wants to sign in using Microsoft' followed by sign in prompt and then it says the authorization failed.

    Hi @bdcollins, @zylgwyn,

     

    you should be able to login yourself even in the VS Code Web.

    What is stated down at your account?

    Are you logged in?

    Hi @Lucas001 

    you are right, it says I'm not logged in using any account. 

    I tried to turned on the sync setting I got this error.

    I got few users try to reproduce the same thing and they all got similar error.

    Hi @zylgwyn,

     

    is anybody in your company able to login? If not have a look at your blocked websites in your company, maybe you need to add vscode web as exception.

     

    I would recommend trying the vs code plugin and see if you have access to the power page and can work on desktop vs version. For that follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SKXP7rQx4g
