Set Visible property if User is in a separate list? Need design help

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 310

I have a use case and not sure how to design it.  

My Power App is accessible to anyone in the organization, it's data source is a SharePoint list called WorkRequest.  I would like to display a button on one of the pages to a small group of Power Users.  I only want the Power Users to see this button which will run a Power Automate flow.  This small group of users will need to be maintained in a separate SharePoint list called PowerUsers.  

 

I'm not sure how to design a solution for this use case. 

Should I set the Visible property for this button to see if the User logged in, matches a User in the PowerUsers list? 

Should it be a match on DisplayName or Email?  

Is there a more effective way to design this other than the Visible property of the button? 

 

Any design help would be greatly appreciated.  Thx

    Hi @allan_t ,

    Assuming PowerUsers has a field called EmailAddress for the relevant users, the Visible on the button would be

    !IsBlank(
     LookUp(
     PowerUsers,
     EmailAddress = User().Email
     ).EmailAddress
    )
