Tightening the SharePoint List permissions for Power Apps

Ғылым және технология

My previous two permissions related videos (whose links are below) triggered so many questions and comments, that I gathered all of that and created this video. This video focuses primarily on the advanced permissions available for SharePoint lists and how it helps tighten the permissions for Power Apps.
Here are the links to the two videos I mentioned at the introduction:

    Excellent video as always! Thanks for sharing Daniel! May I suggest a video topic that I don't see anyone else talking about? (despite it's a very common scenario in the companies) How to handle hierarchical row level security in sharepoint lists. Imagine I have a sharepoint list that has records that should only be viewed/changed by specific people - and their managers should also be able to see/change their subordinate's records as well as their own... I know CDS has these functionalities but it's also something that it's not easy to do and I don't see anyone explaining how to implement this: - CDS w/ hierarchical row level security + Power Apps Canvas, or; - Sharepoint Lists w/ hierarchical row level security + Power Apps Canvas Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion Daniel. I'll need to think about this for a while and come up with a demo first and then will blog on it. I'll definitely add this on my to-blog list.

    Great video, as usual, Daniel. I've had too many conversations about this with citizen developers at our University and will be sharing this with them. The #1 point of confusion (and even our DBAs don't seem to "get" this) is that Power Apps itself (neither the platform nor the apps that you create) has NO permissions to the data. The only permissions that are there come from the connection of the user of the app to the data source. In most cases, we want users to ONLY interact with the data through the app. Using Powershell to set the list as "hidden from browser" is (in my experience) the best way to prevent users from getting to the list interface. It's important to document that change somewhere because it blocks the list from appearing in the Site contents page as well as when adding data sources to Power Apps and using the SharePoint actions in Power Automate.

    Thanks for the great feedback Chad. This video simply clears any doubts both makers and users have both from the front-end Power Apps and the back-end SharePoint list perspective. I tried to keep it simple and explain it with some examples.

    @Daniel Christian I want to give credit to you because I have watched many of your videos and one of those videos was where you created that Asset request app Dell, HP, laptop and accessories etc. I learnt lot from that and till date I have created 3 apps. One is Asset management App Tenant management for a housing society Resource and Cost calculation App for an enterprise. I have just loved it. I am still immature at complex stuff but I find solutions somewhere in your videos!!!

    Hi Daniel, thank you very much for this video. You have made a lot of sense of a very confusing topic. This is going to be brilliant for my apps. One question I have is about the fact that Rosanna can't delete items. I believe this inability to delete is controlled by the Permission Level we created called 'PowerApps List Contribute' rather than selecting the Advanced List Setting of 'Create items and edit items that were created by the user'. Thanks again, brilliant video 😀

    Hello Daniel, Thank you for sharing this video, it is amazing! I learn a lot. Please help me with some advice about the following data security/privacy concern: How do you avoid that the PowerApps users modify the data directly on the SharePoint list if it is your back end data source? The above taking into account the following: -I have to use SharePoint as data source due to several restrictions, so there is no other option so far. -As you know, when you shares a PowerApp you must grant access to the users to the back end SharePoint list. -If a "curious" user achieves to know where the PowerApp data is, they can go there and edit it, which is dangerous whether your solution is an approval app or you app contains confidential information. Thank you.

    Hey May, There are a few ways you can stop users from editing the list directly. 1) Remove the table edit option from the list. You do that in the advanced settings. 2) Filter the view such that they can see their own items only. 3) Finally update the default form so that it only shows a screen that has a link to the main power app. To take it one step further, create a secondary list that is a clone of the primary one. The app is connected to the primary one. Once data is submitted as a new item, a flow is triggered that will copy the data to the second and delete it from the first. This is for a one-time entry type of situation. Hope this helps and keep powerapping!

    Wonderful Video, Daniel. For the List column with unique values, once the column is created can we go back to advanced settings and change the settings back to "Read items only created by the user". Does it work that way?

    Hey John, Thanks for the compliment and glad to hear you have started leveraging Power Apps. About creating PDF, take a look at my friend, Shane Young's video kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKaao7OeYc6xaLA.html I would recommend using Power Automate flows for recurring events. You can leverage the SP list for that as well.

    Hey Marlon, The quick fix would be to give your supervisor site collection admin level access. They by default to see all the items.
