Hey I have built a PowerApp for users to create and edit items in a Sharepoint list. I've set permissions (through a PowerAutomate flow) so that only users who have created an item can edit their details.

Now, I would like to let certain other users to edit items, so I was thinking of adding a button that shows up (when viewing the details of an item) when the user cannot edit the fields. The button would be linked to basically requesting edition permission and then I would validate or not the request.

Is this something that is possible?

Hey @DBO_DV thanks for your reply!

I'll give it a go, thanks!

Would this work if multiple users make these requests? Because if I understand it, this column would only hold one user info, no?

hey @julienvdc ,

It would be possible yes.

What you are asking to do is basically an approval for Power automate. You could add a column in your sharepoint list. Something like Editor and if you approve it, the mail address of the requester gets saved in this column.
You can then filter on Both created by or editor.

I would add, that on submit of the edit, his mail address gets removed. So that he would have to request again for another edit.

If you have any questions about how to create the flow, you can ask our friends and experts from the power automate community here: General Power Automate Discussion - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

If you have any questions about the power apps side just let me know.
