PowerApps: Image from SharePoint Person column not showing in other Tenant

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by WorkflowIQ

I have a canvas Power App that displays a filtered gallery of Items from a SharePoint list. One of the fields in the gallery item shows the user profile image of a person column, called 'Staff Name' (ThisItem.'Staff Name'.Picture). This user profile image shows successfully in my tenant. I have also tested logging in as a user with limited permissions (has no admin roles assigned and not an owner of the app) in my tenant and they can see the user profile images in the power app.

When i create the same SharePoint list and import the Power App into another tenant, everything in the Power App works correctly, except the user profile image does not show (it is blank). There are no errors in the app image control. I have created another app in this tenant that shows the profile picture successfully, but uses the Office365Users connector directly, instead using the person column from a SharePoint list.

Could it be a setting that needs to be configured in the other tenant?

Hello,
I have the same problem. the profile pictures were showing just fine until they suddenly did not showed any more.
Except my own. And where ever I added my name in the person column it showed my picture. Then at some point mine did not showed up either without any code modification. I have tried also on previous versions of my app where it worked in the past and still not working. I use
IfError(ThisItem.HoD.Picture,SampleImage) or just ThisItem.VP1.Picture , in any case no picture is showed.
Seems more like a synchronization issue.
In share point person column the pictures appears correctly.
All the persons in the share point column for which I want to show the picture do not have access to the power app and share point list. But neither before when it was working

I also tried
Text(galApprovalList.Selected.VP1.Picture) into a text label and then copy and pasted the link into the browser and the picture was downloaded correctly.

Update: just opened the app this morning and the pictures are displayed correctly. I did not brought any modification. The power apps version is still the same 3.24042.28 but I noticed that the copilot functionality menu appeared besides fx in the formula bar.
How can I handle such an error, when in fact no error is throwed ? I was thinking to put some text behind the picture with the initials of the people so at least something is displayed when this mysterious error comes around

For the moment it works with: Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(ThisItem.HoD.Email)
First you need to add Office365Users to your data source

Hello, I had the same issue. Profile Pictures were displayed for some users. For others they were not showing up. So I just replaced ThisItem.'Assigned to'.Picture with Office365Users.UserPhotoV2(ThisItem. 'Assigned to'.Email) as @EugenStoica suggested. It worked for me 😊
