How to remove edit access to an item on a list after a user finishes filling out form.

[ddas]

Some background on the apps. we have on app that an employee can fill out and then all the answers are saved to a list. We have another app that they can use to edit their responses but we are looking for a way to close the file for editing after a certain time or have a button that they can use to make a final edit. Also the file still need to be editable by their manager. Any Ideas?

Hi @ddas,

Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

Do you want to remove the Edit permission to an SP List item for a specific user after he finishes out the form using PowerApps?

If you want to remove the Edit permission to an SP List item for a specific user within PowerApps, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs currently.

As an alternative solution, if you want to close the file for editing within a certain period of time, you could consider add a Condition when you/end users run the app to check if current time is within the certain period of time, if yes, navigate the users to the Non-functionality screen (New screen which has no functionality).

In addition, you could add a Condition to check if the current login user is a manager, if yes, he could access this app.

I assume that you don't want the end users to access your app between 10:00 to 12:00 every day (except the Manager), I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Set the OnStart property of the first screen of your app to following formula:

If(
  Value(Text(Now(),"[$-en-US]HHmm"))<Value(Text(Time(10,0,0),"[$-en-US]HHmm")) || 
  Value(Text(Now(),"[$-en-US]HHmm"))>Value(Text(Time(12,0,0),"[$-en-US]HHmm")) || 
  User().Email="Manager Email",    /* <-- Check if current login user is manager */
  Navigate(MainScreen, ScreenTransition.Cover),
  Navigate(Non-functionalityScreen, ScreenTransition.Cover)    /* <-- Limit end users' access, navigate to Non-functionality screen */
)

Best regards,

Kris

Thanks for the suggestion. This actually might be a good workaround. I will try it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

I added your solution on a button and it works great! Thanks for the help

Hi v-xida-msft,

I have a quick question. We are going to have a time limit for how long people can take to fill out the form. Lets say one month and after that one month it's closed off. Is there a way to open it for just one person in case they didn't get it done on time. We don't want everyone to be able to edit their form again just that one person?

Thanks,

Thanks for your help. I got an overall idea How ever. I am also facing some challenge with this. I have a power app list and employees can make updates in the list which will be updated in sharepoint list. Now I want to disable the access to edit once the updates are done by employees. There is a button on top which say to "submit the form". After filling the details and clicking on the button an automated mail is sent to the management notifying the submission form employee. I want the edit access to be disabled once the employee click that button
