Sharing model driven app with users from different business uints

Hi,

 

I have built a model driven app in the default environment.

I have the following business units

 

Default Org123

Child: BU-1
Child: BU-2

 

I've assigned two roles to the app and I've assigned the roles to the user that is assigned to BU-1. 

 

When I share the app with the user, I get the error User Unknown. The user gets the error that he's not a member of the organisation.

    don't use that method to assign roles. It's trying to assign the same role to the users, and when you use different business units, you actually have a copy of the role in each business unit. Do this instead.

     

    1. create an app access role for your app

    2. go to the power platform admin center settings for your environment (or advanced settings to access the classic settings menu

    3. Assign your user the role assigned to the app.

     

    In reality you are not sharing your model driven app, you are security role enabling it and then you are granting the role to the user.
