Is there a way to create an If statement for the Visibile property on a button to only display if the current user has Create item permission on the list?

Is there a way to show a particular OnStart screen based on who the user is?

Thanks!

You can use the User function (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/function-user/) or the office 365 connector (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/connection-office365-outlook/) to find out who the user is and navigate to a particular screen based on the user.

I'm not sure about how to detect if the user has create list permissions however. @KeremY or @sarafankit who might know the answer.

@cherie

I have tried using DataSourceinfo.CreatePermission but that does not work. Other users have pointed out this issue.

What screen property would you set to enforce a specific startup screen?
Could this be used for a group of users?

You can use the OnStart property. That will trigger the once when the app is run.

You can check if the user belongs to a table (eg. an admin table). Take a look at the Filter function (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/function-filter-lookup/)

Hi!

In this old post: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/Is-it-possible-to-switch-the-view-as-InfoPath-in-powerapps/m-p/54604#M22624 I talk about using membership in AD groups to control the visibility of UI elements.

Good luck!

You can use the onStart function or onvisible depending on your use case
