Transfer PowerApp to another user

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello Everyone!

 

I need to transfer a Canvas PowerApp that I created to another user, as I am leaving the company.  I did try to assign new owner from PowerShell, following this guide. However, the command does not seem to work as I get the following message:

GetsovI_0-1670320458838.png

 

I have installed all necessary packages: 

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -AllowClobber

 I have also tried to force the sign in command using:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned –Force

When I run the command, providing -AppName -EnvironmentName and -AppOwner I still get the same error.

 

Can someone help me with this issue?

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    You don't need to use Powershell to do this if you are still with the organisation, this is more of an administrator task and you might not be able to do it if you are not a global Power Platform administrator.  The easiest way to make someone else the owner is to share the app (with owner permissions) with them via make.powerapps.com.

     

    Here's some documentation Updating ownership for Power Apps apps | Microsoft Power Apps

    "If an owner is leaving, they can share the app through the Maker portal. Note that this ownership change does not affect the users with whom it is shared."
