I have the following scenario:
user 1 is using a canvas app to create a record
They then want to give access to the record to a group of users - some of whom will only have read, but others will also have write access to a particular field. User 1 also needs to give these group of users access to a second app.
These users will use this other app to access the record.
Is there a way for user 1 through the Canvas app to give permissions to these two different sets of users to the record and also the second app.
We are still trying to determine what data source to use.
The question is really about the fact that we don't know upfront what users need what permissions. We want to be able to has this done through the app, i.e. selection of users and permissions are done using the app. For Dataverse, let's say roles have already been set up (with appropriate permissions) and just need to assign role to user through the app.
Thanks
Hi @absoluteBeginer,
The answer to your question will depend on what Data source the app is using. Is it a Dataverse table, a SharePoint list, or something else?
If using Dataverse, this is achieved by using security roles and setting up the appropriate permission scope (e.g user/team) per table for a role. The secure a particular field, you need to enable Column Level Security for the column, and create a Field Security Profile to control what users/teams have access to the column and what level (read/create/update).
For sharing the app, if it's using Dataverse as a data source, you just need to share it with a security group and they should have access to the tables via Dataverse security roles.
