Data connections to o365Users not working for just one user

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 199

I have a PA connecting to a SP list, where staff set their whereabouts daily.

One of my users can't connect to the data source. This user has exactly the same permissions as the rest of the team. She can access the list itself in SP and has rights to access the PA. But when she opens it via an embedded link on the SP page or via PAs mobile app, the app loads initially but spools on opening the second gallery screen saying 'getting your data'.

The PA has two data sources, the list and O365Users. I guess it's the O365Users that is causing the problem but why for just one user? 

 

Thanks, Vicki

    Have you checked to make sure that one user has a Profile and has instantiated their OneDrive?  I know a profile is required, but I think OneDrive may be also.

    Hi @Victoria ,

    Which PowerApps licenses does this user own?

    Is the user existed within same Org as you?

     

    Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. Please make sure the user has enough permission to access your SP list data source, and could access your PowerApps app.

     

    Also please check if the user has appropriate license to run a PowerApps app. If a user wants to run a PowerApps app, he must own Office 365 include PowerApps license at least.

    Please check the following article for more details:

    Please also consider ask the user to clear cache of his browser, then access your app again, check if the issue is solved. Also please make sure the version of the PowerApps Mobile device in his device is the latest version, if not, ask him to upgrade it to the latest version.

     

    If the issue still exists, please consider remove the permission to your SP Site and your canvas app for the user, then re-assign corresponding permissions to him, then try it again, check if the issue has been fixed.

    Note: Please make sure the user is in same Org as you. In other words, you could not share an app with users outside your Org (external users).

     

    Best regards,
