Behalf of user account

Hello guys, 

 

On my app I would like to create an event in calendar, but app creates all events on behalf of admin, not user.

 

How to manage it? 

How to create all events on behalf of user account?

    Hi @shnurich ,

     

    I'm not quite aware of what you meant of app creates all events on behalf of admin, not user. Could you please share more details of your scenario? How were you creating events in your App? The formula of the create events button?

     

    Best regards,

    Thanks for answering 🙂

    First of all, I see two options for working with PowerApps,
    conditionally:
    if the user clicks a button to add a row to the Sharepoint list, then PowerApps adds the row on behalf of the user or administrator.

    How can this be configured? So that in some cases it was a user, and in some cases an administrator?

    The same, for example, to sending a letter. Can I fine-tune how emails are sent from PowerApp.

    This is regulated by setting permissions before first opening, but for some reason it does not always work. For example, right now I have this formula:

    MicrosoftTeams.CreateTeamsMeeting(
    LookUp(varCalendars;DisplayName="Corporate_Calendar").Name;
    Title.Text);
    {content: Content.Text; contentType:"html"};
    "FLE Standard Time";
    {dateTime: Text(LookUp('Corporate_ Calendar';ID=Value(Event_ID);StartTime);"yyyy-mm-ddTHH:mm:ss")};
    {dateTime: Text(LookUp('Corporate_ Calendar';ID=Value(Event_ID);EndTime);"yyyy-mm-ddTHH:mm:ss")};
    true;
    "teamsForBusiness";{
    requiredAttendees: LookUp('Dealers event Calendar';ID=Value(Event_ID);Groups_mailings);
    responseRequested: false
    })

     

    Everything working fine.

    But always the meeting is created by the administrator, I want the meetings initiator to be the user who clicks the button.

    The situation is very similar with Power Automate, which is launched from PowerApps. Power Automate connectors can run as either an administrator or a user.

     

    If you have some questions please ask! thanks!

    Hi @shnurich ,

     

    If Power Automate could do that while Power Apps can't then you could use the button to call a flow to achieve your need. But generally speaking most of connectors are the same for Power Apps and Power Automate, so which connector and action are you referring to, MS Teams and create teams meeting?

    Hi, @v-jefferni ,

     

    Now I'm interested in MicrosoftTeams.CreateTeamsMeeting and why the invitation to the meeting comes only from the administrator if most of the functions are launched through the user's connection
