Problem with creating and download of pdf over onedrive

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 183

Hello community,

 

i have a big big big problem with my app. I created an app where the user give some input by switching a couple of toggles. The answers were saved in a collection. Over a HTML file in power apps, i create a pdf at ms flow and give the created pdf back to the power app. In addition to this, the answers are also saved in an Excel file, which is in a onedrive folder. The html-file + pdf are both also saved in the onedrive folder. In the app there is a button where the user can download the pdf to his computer.

 

When I run the app or when I create and download the PDF, everything works perfectly. As soon as another user tries, he gets an error. The user has the approval for the app and for the flow. In addition, I shared the OneDrive folder with him, so he also has the rights for this. If another user runs the app, their results are inserted into the Excel file, but they get an error during download of the pdf. When I look in the folder, no PDF is created either. I am very sure, that the problem has something to do with the Access rights. If you look at the first Screenshot you can see, that the other user has nearly every right to do something in that folder.

What I noticed is that as soon as he wants to download it, my name is in the link and not that of the user. Probably because the folder is in my "environment".

(i know that there is written sharepoint, but its OneDrive)

Does the app need his "own onedrive environment" so not in my? Or does the App save the pdf somewhere else on the users onedrive?

 

So please can someone help me with this problem? I tried everything but did not get to solve it.

 

Thank you very much.

 

 

Best regards,

CanD
