I have being working on altanerives of Business Managment Software using power Apps And all my Solutions Are working i have a client in which I want to share the Solution with the client . The biggest Bottle neck I am experiencing is how i can share the Applications as I do not want the cliets to view any of the products from tables , environmental variables or even the site Maps . iwould like the clients to only view and see the model Driven Applications only . Any one with a Solution to this

Managed solutions protect your components from being modified, but they do not hide Dataverse tables from the client’s maker portal.

If a client has the Environment Maker role or any maker-level permissions, they can still see tables, columns, relationships, and other Dataverse structures in make.powerapps.com. The managed solution only prevents changes to the schema; it does not restrict visibility.

To properly limit what clients can access:

Give users only a custom security role with access to the app

Avoid assigning the Environment Maker role

Keep them as app users instead of makers

With only app-level access, users can use the application itself but won’t be able to browse tables or explore the maker portal.

For stronger isolation, the best approach is usually a dedicated environment where the client is added only as an app user. This prevents access to the maker experience entirely, including tables, site maps, and environment variables.

Yes — the best and most secure approach is to deploy your application to the client as a Managed Solution in a separate production environment and give users access only to the Model-Driven App.

Key recommendations:

Use a dedicated client environment

Deploy only Managed Solutions

Create custom security roles (avoid System Admin/System Customizer)

Share only the Model-Driven App

Remove Environment Maker access

Hide technical tables and admin areas from the sitemap

Grant only required Dataverse permissions

Use Azure Key Vault or secure configuration for sensitive settings

With this setup, clients can:

use the application normally

view only the business screens and data they need

And they cannot:

access solutions

modify tables

view environment variables

customize the app

access maker/admin features

This is the standard enterprise/ISV approach for securely delivering Microsoft Power Apps and Microsoft Dataverse solutions to customers.
