I need to build 2  canvas app  where i use dataverse as data source:
 
App1-canvas power app will be utilized by admin people(3 people)-Admin access/full control
App2-canvas power app will be utilized by entire company-Contributor access
 
so please help me with below queries:
 
1.should we need add users in full control and contributors group in the dataverse level such that those users can query data ?
2.how to give access to canvas power apps for app1 and app2 for admin and contributor group at app level or just dataverse permissions will be enough?

    1) User's should be given whatever permissions they need in Dataverse to work with the data in the app. If they will be editing data then they need both Read and Write permissions.  If they will only be viewing data then they only need Read.
     
    2) Power Apps isn't a Security layer. User's will have whatever permission to the data that they are given in Dataverse, no more and no less. You can hide certain screens from users which may simulate security but the user's will still need permission to the data source.
