unable to find user when trying to add to security role.

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 696

Hi all,

 

In the past I have been able to add a user to a security role for a given environment without them being in a security group (or without a security group assigned to the Environment).

 

In the last few days when I search for some users there are no results.

I have confirmed the users have the appropriate Power Apps license.

 

Odd thing is, one of the users exists in security roles in another environment. Their licensing has not changed.

I can still search for some other users. and I tried full email address, username, first name, last name.

Any ideas?

 

Thank you

    Thanks again, Just wanted to confirm I would have the Environment setup with no security groups so it is open to all, and manage said permissions through the teams I create?

    You can create the teams within dataverse for devs and users who wanted to share the groups.

     

    Each team can be associated with Azure AD group or you can add/remove users from the Teams in dataverse.

     

    Team can have a specific security role and its applied to all users within the Team.

    Thank you, that worked, however, What if I need the permissions for a security group applied to devs with access to the environment, but want other users to be able to view shared apps (without the security group permissions)?

    @RandomDept 

    Is your environment restricted to a AD group (Security Group)? This might have been done when creating the environment.

     

    Go to admin center and edit the environment to check if a security group is associated to your environment. If yes, change the setting to open access then try to add the user.
