connect to SharePoint list using a service account and use powerapp to update

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 28

Is it possible to use a powerapp that has a connection set w a service account so I do not need to grant users permissions on the SharePoint list? Basically they can only go through the powerapp to update the list. I know how to set the connection in powerapp but it seems when running the powerapp, it will use the connection to SharePoint w the user's credential?

 

TIA!

    Hi @weiwei3k ,

    You can use the Run Only Users section at the bottom right of the properties of the Flow to configure to your connection (and not use the User's)

    @weiwei3k ,

    Sorry not possible - it is either connected to the data source (then it will assume the user's connection/permissions) or it is not connected (then you can use a Flow)
