Automating permissions for Sharepoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 14

Hello Power Hivemind,

 

I have a situation not well covered by other posts. I have an app that allows remote employees to order home office equipment. The primary sharepoint list that is being used has lookup columns for 6 other lists (for equipment details). After some deployment issues, MS helped me discover that any user that the app is deployed to (shared with) must also have read permission to the lookup lists as well as the main list.

 

What I would like to do is:

  1. Set up a flow triggered by our onboarding app that will give remote users read access to these lists without sending them a notification that they have been invited. This flow would also share the app with them as well (this could have an invitation sent)
  2. When the user submits the final request, there is a flow that sends out emails, including an email to our vendor to have the equipment ordered. This flow would need a step to remove the read permissions from the user at that point.

Is this something that is even doable? I've tried the instructions on the links included in this post, but I think that the API instructions may be incorrect as I can't get test flows to do anything but give 404 errors when trying to send DELETE commands through HTTP requests.

 

Thanks in advance!

    HI @SimplyJace ,

     

    This forum is for Dataverse and this is SharePoint backend, you might want to post in the generic Power Apps forum vs here...
