Canvas PowerApps and SQL Server Implicit Connection with new objects

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 91
Framing this question; 
 
I have a Canvas App -   for this question I'll create a Blank Canvas app
I have a SQL Server Connection 
 
For this question -  I will do a simple ClearCollect(colName, SqlServer View)
 
The connection I am using has db_owner access on the Database - 
 
If I for whatever reach -- in this specific example -  I needed to Drop the View and recreate it, to change a join condition -   
When running the app - - it seems the app did not have access to the view and I needed to update the Permissions specifically on the
view to allow access.
 
With the connections -  is there anything unique in view and table access - where if I remove the object on the database -  I will need to
re-create the specific object as well? 
 
I noticed this also when using a Trigger - in that I needed to specifically grant the permissions - even though the user has db_owner access.
 
unsure if this is a Permission propagation on new objects, or if it's a connection/connector behavior when new objects are created?

    If you make changes to the database you should normally refresh the connection in Power Apps.

    I'll have to try that out, i'll setup a test on this and reply back in the thread once I do that.
     
    On my production app - I'm pretty sure I refresh but I need to reverify
     
    I can also refresh the table with a trigger to see if that works 
     
    give me a bit to set that up and test
