Power Pages - Form lookup field with Entra ID

Dear Community,

I am building a website based on a Dataverse table.

To be able to look up in the form, I believe I need to have a lookup column in the table.

I need to look up AAD user so I am relying on the Microsoft Entra ID table.

But I know this table is special, for example, it is not possible for me to create a permission so anonymous user can look it up when filling up the form.

So I am thinking to create a custom table that copies the Entra ID table, the data can be updated by a scheduled flow.

Then in the table lookup column, I can select the related lookup table to this new custom table.

Is this the correct approach?

Below is the error if I try to look up Microsoft Entra ID table directly, even with the permission.

Thanks!

Hi @nhtkid,

I think you refer to the AAD User table: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/aaduser-entity
If you want users to get direct data the anonymous role needs to get access to Microsoft Graph at the table is just a virtual one. How exactly we can achieve that in Power Pages, I am not sure.
Your approach would be a solution which in the end will work. I would suggest going with your approach and later on see if you can get people access to the table.

Thank you @Lucas001 for the guidence!
In the end, I went with the system user table instead.
