Shared a Power App to everyone. Evernone except me is prompted to allow connection EVERY TIME they access the app

The Power App displays the contents of a Sharepoint list in a gallery format, therefore the app has a connector to a Sharepoint list.  The app is shared with Everyone except external users, and Everyone except external users has read access to the connected Sharepoint list.  

 

When I access the page that the app is embedded on, the app operates normally.  EVERY TIME any other user accesses the same page, they get the prompt "<app name> needs your permission to use the following. Please allow the permissions to proceed." The connection displayed is titled "Sharepoint" with the user ID and "Signed in".  I understand that permission may be required once, but is there something wrong that they are prompted EVERY TIME they access the page?  Is it something I can fix?

 

I tried the recommendation to permanently disable the permission prompt on this page: Suppress User Consent Popup in PowerApps - Cloud Decoded (anupams.net).  But that after going through the various import-module commands, when I issue the Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent command, I get the error, that the environment ' ' is not found in my tenant.  (I did specify the correct environment name in the command.  It appears that the command never tries to parse the environment name. 

 

Are other troubleshoot tips or suggestions?

    @dd-pc-ut ,

    This prompt is a security feature of PowerApps, the first time a user runs a PowerApp they must establish the connection with the services to ensure that they have authorization and authentication permissions to the service and the listing.  This should be only a one time instance for each user. The suppression bypass requires Global Admin or AAD Admin access to execute.

    Thanks for responding.  The issue is in this sentence "This SHOULD only be a one time instance for each user."  In my case, every user (except me and a global admin acct) gets prompted EVERY time.  Even just refreshing the page causes the prompt to happen again.  I've been searching for an answer, and it doesn't seem that anyone has ever found a root cause or even a practical but unexplainable fix.

    I have heard of some other tenants having this same issue in the last few days, some of my peers are trying to trace down the issue. If I hear anything I will let you know.

    Perhaps your users are not viewing the cached app. This may be something you already tried, but I know the app caching is terrible with Power Apps. So I now place a numbered version on the home screen or welcome screen. That way I know if the app I'm looking at is the most recent.

    Tested again today with several different user accounts, and the problem has resolved itself.  Users are prompted the first time to allow access, but are not prompted again after that.  This issue can be considered "spontaneously resolved".
