How to create user roles and assign user roles in Microsoft Power Apps?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 986

Hi everyone,

I have started exploring Microsoft Power apps recently, previously I was working on Mendix. So in power apps how can I create a new user role (what are the steps) and how to use the new role in my application (Blank Canvas). In Mendix there was a security option where in we can create attributes and give access to a user-role.

In my case I want to create a user role: Engineer, so could you please let me the detailed step by step process (as the documentation part on security did not answer my query)

 

Regards,

Sidhant.

    It depends. If you are using SharePoint List as a data source (and you may choose to use more than one SharePoint List at the same time in the same Canvas App, all as data sources), refer to my solution here as starting point:Grant read/Edit access to users for a List 

    so you can know how you can do this even on a granular List level.

     

    If you are using Dataverse as a data source, refer to this guide as a starting point:

    Configure user security to resources in an environment 

    See if it helps @Sidhant_02
