using Power Apps without having access to share point

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi guys,

I just have a quick question, Is there any chance to prevent Power Apps user of getting access to the share point list which I have used it as data source of my app?!

I don't even want to give them read only access.

No access at all , just use the App.

Many thanks in advance.

    The answer is No, Not Possible.  Users must have permissions access to the SharePoint list.  Otherwise they could not access the data in the app either.  All you can do is use strategies to 'hide' the SharePoint list from users and prevent manual edits.

    Check out this video by @WonderLaura on the topic.
