HI :

  My company use powerapps+sharepoint online list to develop , after I finish my develop job , I share my app to my colleague and give him the member permission in my sharepoint site . 

  But my manager said , he does not want to let my colleague become , because my colleague can access sharepoint site then watch all data in this sharepoint site , but he must can use my apps .

  In this situation , how could I set sharepoint site permission to my colleague let him can use apps but can not access the sharepoint site directly !!

    Unfortunately, You can't.  Power Apps doesn't provide a separate security layer.  To use an App the user must have access to the backend data source.  There is no way to get around that requirement.
