Mobile offline profile and security roles

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 13

Hi,

 

Newbie here, I just  want to ask what else to I need to do to make non-system admin users use my offline app. When I disable offline mode, the test users get no errors but when I enable offline mode, they get the "error when trying to retrieve data from the network" error.

 

Type: Canvass App

Database : Dataverse

 

Here's what I have done so far:

 

-Enable offline capability in the source tables - Check

-Enable offline settings in the app. -Check

-Created a mobile offline profile - Check

-Created and assign a security role with access privileges to the source table and mobile offline profile - Check

-Assigned "Basic User" roles to users. (custom security role alone doesn't work even after adding mobile offline profile privileges.  Prior to adding basic user role, they weren't able to open the app ) - Check

 

I Temporarily assigned System admin role to one user and it worked!. When I reverted the said user's role to the standard roles to test my theory, the error didn't return surprisingly.. What am I missing here? I'm worried that If I do the same experiment to all users, they would all fail to use the app in the future when its deployed.

    @JPGarcia ,

    The error "error when trying to retrieve data from the network" you receive is most probably related to offline table relationships you have included in offline profile. Please check that all tables you used in your app are also available in offline mode.

    I already did that. My tables doesn't have relationships and are all offline enabled.

    Are you using any filter on your mobile offline profile?
