Refresh security roles?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 241

I have created a security role that goes with a certain canvas app, and I seem to have missed some permissions while configuring it. So, after updating some of the permissions in the role, I tried again, but I still received security errors in my app. The errors persisted until the I completely logged the user out of the PowerApps app, and re-logged in.

 

Of course, I missed a few more permissions.... so I had to do the whole login dance a few more times, which ended up more time consuming.

 

My questions:

* I assume the security role is cached. But when is the user/security role info refreshed?

* Is there a way to force refresh this info without logging out?

    Hi @MrNappa ,

    Do you want to know how much time does refresh security role take and can you refresh security role without restarting app?

    I'm afraid I didn't found any doc about refreshing security role.

    But I believe it indeed need some time.

    I suggest you wait for a moment (at best 1-2 hours) after you update your security role and then run your app.

    Also, you need to restart your app.

    Or else, many updates may not take effect.

    I suggest you express your views about adding functions of refreshing security role on PowerApps Ideas Forum. Your precious feedback will be very helpful for our work.
