Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello

I'm new to the powerapps tool and i'm trying to figure out how to declare that the user with "admin role"r can access to certain Screens.

The configuration is the next one:

PowerApp Helpdesk linked to a sharepoint list for ticket creation

PowerApp Helpdesk linked to another sharepoint list that has the users , passwords and roles

the colums of this list is as it follows:

User--------Password(hidden)--------Role(user or admin)-----person( real person in the organization)

The app has a login portal (OnStart) where is intended that the users can access by using the "user" and "password" that is provided in t the sharepoint list.

So far the "normal users" can access and use the ticketing tool with no problem but im stucked on how should i declare that the Admin user has access to the other screens of the app where Admin can change the ticket settings as Completed, work in progress, etc

the question is:

How can i declare that the admin user has access to another screens on the app that normal users can't?

The solution i'm trying to establish it's to somehow link it to the sharepoint list which contains the users, password and role.

Thanks in advance!

HI @seez05 , If I understood your requirement then I believe you are looking permission trimming in your app based on roles. So, you can have below code:

On the App , OnStart property you can have this logic

Set(gblvar_CurrentUserRole, LookUp(ListName, ColumnName = User().FullName).Role)

This variable gives you the role. Now, using this variable you can show or hide the components. Lets consider that you have button on screen which is just meant for Admin. This allow Admin to navigate to other screen. Then visible property of the button, you can have below code:

If(gblvar_CurrentUserRole = "Admin", true, false)

With this only Admin will be able to see this button and non admin wont see this button.
