Connection secury concern (Sharepoint Lists)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

In my app there are several connections to the multiple sharepoint lists. In order for users to manipulate (Patch) these lists, they also require to have a permission to edit those lists. But then they can go and edit those lists directly. It is insecure - anyone can delete imporatnt tables / items.

 

How to overcome this problem? Normally You can not manipulate data in database source, only through application.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    If you create a custom permission level in SharePoint (based on Contribute is a good option) and uncheck View Application Pages, the users can do whatever they need in Power Apps, but cannot view anything directly in SharePoint, even if they know the URL.
