Could you please help with Explicit authentication (the app user’s credentials are used to access the data source) for SharePoint connector from a canvas app.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/security/connect-data-sources#authenticating-to-data-sources
I could find details only for implicit authentication in the sites/blog.
Could you please share links on how to achieve explicit authentication for SharePoint Connector in PowerApps Canvas App.
Hi @RiyaWilson ,
Explicit authentication is the only possibility for the SharePoint connector in Power Apps. Implicit authentication is not possible.
@RiyaWilson - @BCBuizer's answer above is correct.
Explicit authentication is the default. There isn't anything you need to do to set it up.
At runtime, if an end user doesn't have permissions to access the data source, the consent screen will offer the option to 'switch account' which will enable the user to enter alternate SharePoint authentication credentials.
