AzureAD.CheckMemberGroups expression not recognized in Power Apps

Dear Community,

I am using the App.StartScreen to check current user's AD membership so I could decide whether to hide or show a button.

I am following the offical Microsoft Learn Link here doing exact same thing.

Basically, I need to have the following expression.

If(
 !IsEmpty(
 AzureAD.CheckMemberGroups(
 User().Email,
 ["Enter your Azure group ID here"]
 ).Value
 ),
 Set(varAdmin,true),
 Set(varAdmin,false)
)

Basically if I insert the same PowerFx expression now, it doesn't recognize the AzureAD function.

I have added the connector as well.

What am I missing?

Even thought Microsoft has rebranded AAD to Entra ID, it wouldn't deprecate the AzureAD function.

Thank you all.

Hi @nhtkid , Check group membership is DEPRECATED and instead use Check group membership (V2). PFB:
Also check https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/azuread/

Also, use this connector which is highlighted below:

Hi @nhtkid , Can you confirm on which version your app is correctly?

Because, in my app when I add connector Microsoft Entra ID, it allow with this name in app MicrosoftEntraID.CheckMemberGroupsV2

So, do not use AzureAD.CheckMemberGroupsV2, instead use MicrosoftEntraID.CheckMemberGroupsV2

Hi @ANB,
I just want to express my gratitude for your help.
You are such a legend and we are so close the final resolution!
I am on the same app version as yours.

After I updated to MicrosoftEntraID.CheckMemberGroupsV2, it is complaining something else. I am thinking maybe there is a slight change required for the formula?

But at least the function and action is correct now.
Cheers,

Hi @nhtkid , So this is now all together different issue that you are facing now. The earlier issue was that due to naming changes, instead of using AzureAD, we need to use MicrosoftEntraID.

Can you help me with the exact requirement so that I can help you accordingly build the logic.

Thanks,
ANB

Hi @nhtkid , If I understood correctly, then you want to check whether a logged in user belong to mention group or not. If yes, then you set a variable.

So, use value not Value in code.
If( !IsEmpty( MicrosoftEntraID.CheckMemberGroupsV2( User().Email, ["Enter your Azure group ID here"] ).value ), Set( varAdmin, true ), Set( varAdmin, false ) )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi @ANB,

You are spot on. I am just checking whether the (Power Apps) logged in user belongs to a certain AAD group, whether it is a Security Group or an Office 365 group. The initial issue has gone, which was caused by me importing the wrong Microsoft Entra ID connector and also not using MicrosoftEntraID. operation. The new issue is that it does not like that operation.

I am just following the guide here up to step No.18
Integrate Power Apps in Teams with Azure Active Directory (contains video) - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

I just changed the lower case but seems like the new issue is still there.

This solution is correct. But there is a catch.
You need to apply the code on the App's OnStart property.
If you were like me having some weird UI issue and does not OnStart, you cannot have it on the StartScreen property. This was the mistake I made.

If you did that, you will get an error suggesting "A behavioural action cannot be performed on a non-behavioural property". Checking AD membership is a behavioural action and "StartScreen" is a non-behavioural property.

Instead, you should go to the actual screen OnVisible property. In my case, the button I want to show/hide resides on the Welcome screen. So I pasted the code to the Welcome screen's OnVisible property to perform the check.
Then you can use the variable on the button's Visible property.

Hello, nhtkid,

Please let me know if after putting " " in the object ID it worked. I am having the same issue and following the same video.
Also i saw you posted this syntax on the Onvisible property of the screen you wanted to hide the button on? Is this correct? ty.
