Hi @kouliscon ,

SharePoint does not record which user created an attachment, only who created or last edited the record.

thank you @WarrenBelz

waht i found after researching at the internet is that i can remove the possibility to delete and already uploaded attachments by going to the datacardValue of the attachment at the "OnRemoveFile" and put: Reset(Self). Then the remove file will be disabled but i am looking for a solution someone like an administrator to still have the possibility to remove them...

let me know pls

Hi @kouliscon ,

You would just need to set a Variable for the Administrator then OnRemoveFile

If( !IsAdmin, Reset(Self) )

To set, have a reference list with email and role of staff and at App OnStart

Set( IsAdmin, LookUp( YourRefList, YourEmailField = User().Email ).Role = "Admin" )

thank you

i have created a list named: "summer associate attachements" and then i added two columns:

1) people/ person with the email address
2) role

i made an entry with my email address and role Admin.

i then went at the App OnStart and i added what you mention what you wrote above but there i already have

If(!IsBlank(Param("ID")),Set(varID, Param("ID"));Navigate(Screen1,ScreenTransition.Fade));

how can i combine them?

And (Set(IsAdmin,LookUp('Summer Associate Attachments',Email = User().Email).Role = "Admin")

Hi @kouliscon ,

You do not need to combine them - just run the Variable setup first. Also if that is a Person column (you really do not need one for this), you would need

Set( IsAdmin, LookUp( 'Summer Associate Attachments', YourPersonColumn.Email = User().Email ).Role = "Admin" ); If( !IsBlank(Param("ID")), Set( varID, Value(Param("ID")) ); Navigate( Screen1, ScreenTransition.Fade ) )
