Security issues in Power apps

Hello, Community,
 
I have a question, and I didn't find the right answer for that.
I would like to develop an approval application in Power apps Dataverse with Teams.
 
It is quite easy to create the application, the tables.
But I have security issues, and I don't know how to handle that.
When I develop an application, the status of the purchase orders is essential. I want to restrict the users to access the dataverse tables directly. They only can interact with the tables thru the application.
 
In other words: when a user can open the tables directly, he can just change the data, the statuses. It is not secure.
Is it possible to restrict the user to access the table directl, but could interact with the table thru the application?
I have the same issue when using canvas Powerapps with Sharepoint list as a data source. If a user finds the list in Sharepoint, he can change the values in the records (can set to approved, whithout the permission from the approver). When I restrict the edit on the Sharepoint list for a user, the application will not work.
 
So I want to be sure, that the back end data can be modified only when using the app.
Is there any solution for this ?
 
Thank you.

    I can help you with SharePoint - I have a blog on this that may be useful to you- I am not a Dataverse authority (by any means), so really cannot comment further here.

    Hello, WarrenBelz,
     
    Thank you for the post. It will be very helpful. However I'm curious about Dataverse security also. I haven't decided yet which data storare solution I will use. I'm in a planning phase now.
