Power App / Connection Issues

Posted on by slong_5150

I am new to Power App development.

Is there any way to get around the requirement that end users be co-owners of canvas apps?

We developed an application with a couple of standard license connections (Sharepoint, Email).

We moved the app from a development environment to a default environment and attempted to publish and share the application with a user.

The end user was then prompted sign in ... which in turn will make it necessary they have co-ownership of the app and related read and write connections.

We would prefer that the connections not be affiliated with individuals.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi There,

Firstly, you shouldn't develop in Default Environment and try to use any Developer Environment.

Secondly, no need to share the app with end user until unless he/she is going to customize or edit it.

Hope this helps.

Hi @slong_5150,

Clarifying this a bit further, all apps are run in the context of the logged-in user (they have to be authenticated as having the necessary licence) and once opened and run, all connections are then those of that users (so for example, records are shown as created/modified by that user). They are asked to sign in to authenticate these connections - this will only happen on their first sign in and at times when changes are made to the app. You do not need to share ownership of the app - just tell them to confirm each time and it will all run as expected.
