I HAVE A SHAREPOINT LIST WITH PERSON AND GROUP FIELDS AND WOULD LIKE TO START ON CERTAIN SCREENS DEPENDING ON THE LOGO USER

EXAMPLE:

IF THE USER LOGGED IN TO THE POWERAPPS IS ADMIN IT GOES TO A MORE IMPROVED SCREEN

IF THE USER IS STANDARD GOES TO A SIMPLE SCREEN WITH LESS PERMISSION

Please consider writing your posts (and titles) without all-caps.

This can be accomplished a number of ways:

Derive something about the user to determine they're an admin, then redirect

Office365Users can get details

CDS has user views, and you can create system views for users with certain security roles

SharePoint have a list of Admins, and then you check the list to see if the User() is in it

Using a parameter in the URL used to launch the app, to redirect

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-param#example---param

You could have different URLs for different users

Admin Team has one URL for the app

Users have another

Method #1 is more secure and reliable. Method #2 works well, but should not be considered secure. Once folks learn (even by reading this), they will be able to insert their own parameters into the URL as needed.

Hi @GarethPrisk
Hello @GarethPrisk

Sorry for the capital letters.

I tried to use Office365Users, but it didn't work very well and I couldn't find a solution for my scenario.

I'm going to try this list of SharePoint users, but I want that automatically by the user's login go straight to the screen without Param

And again, sorry for the capital letters.

The list of users can definitely work. You will want a blocking pattern (like a loading screen) to allow you to check the user in the list, and then navigate.

Top-most screen in your app; app opens this first

Add a Button

UpdateContext({locUserRecord: LookUp(YourList, YourNameField = User().FullName)};

Then either

If(locUserRecord.FieldToCheck = Value, Navigate(AdminScreen), Navigate(NonAdminScreen));

If(!IsBlank(locUserRecord), Navigate(AdminScreen), Navigate(NonAdminScreen));

Made the button invisible; add a logo/animation/blocking pattern

On you top-most screen, set the OnVisible

Select(Button)

This will click the button (as though a user clicked it), then once it's determined if they're an admin and/or in the list, then it will navigate. Good luck!

No worries about the all-caps. I just assume you don't want folks to think you're yelling. 😉
