I can't create a CDS in my default environment, or acces my Enterprise Gateway from other environments.
Anybody have seen this?
Hi @maralst,
There should be a default Database created for the default environment.
Please take a check under PowerApps Admin Center, find the default Environment, then click it, there should be database tab available there:
Could you please share more details about the page above in your default environment?
Enterprise Gateway currently is only accessable under the default environment, which is documented here:
Manage an on-premises data gateway in PowerApps
If you are not the Global admin of the PowerApps tenant, then you may need to contact your Office 365 admin to check with the database access.
Regards,
Michael
Hi @v-micsh-msft I can't even see my default enviroment in the Admin Page, only the others I created.
Here is a picture.
Thank you for your help.
The last image from you does not seem to have the tennat drop down at LHS. So you may be using Powerapps outside general O365 licencing. What licence are you using? Some licences dont allow CDS.
@hgowdy I am using the trial version, because we are still trying the tool to see if we are going to buy it.
Thank you.
@maralst - You must be a Global Admin of the tenant in order to manage the default environment from the PowerApps admin center. If you are granted access to the admin role you should be able to add yourself as an admin of the default environment and provision a CDS database there.
My default environment didn't have a CDS setup. Why could that be?
Also, the default Env item for the gateway is extremely limiting and stupid. I want to run a UI flow with data not in my default Env's CDS.
Can i do that?
