Hi guys,
I want to make authentication for guest. Is it possible to make our own authentication or sending an OTP for the user? thanks a lot!
thanks @justinburch for your insight. it is very helpful.
Hi @tirrr,
That makes sense - as far as being "too expensive", I assume you've taken a look at the pricing documentation and how anonymous users could rack up page view allocation quickly? I would still recommend using the true authentication experience.
Regardless, as far as the problem statement, there is no such thing as "guest access," but you could simulate the experience. Note that it will be time consuming as far as dev effort, and will expose information because you will not be able to truly rely on permissions to drive data.

I hope this helps,

@justinburch thanks for your reply. yes you are correct. I want to give users a temporary access but not using authentication in power portal. because it will be very costly if every user have to register and sign in with the built in authentication in power portal.
Hi @tirrr,
If I understand it correctly, you want to grant someone temporary access? Is it based on a single session, single record, time limit, etc?
Hi
can you explain a bit further:
if you want to learn more about Power Apps Portals Authentication in general, I will be doing a session next Saturday the 5th on that topic: https://events.powercommunity.com/power-apps-portal-saturday/
