Pop-Up PowerApp Part Perplexing

[devDevote9]

Hi team,

something similar has been mentioned elsewhere,  by @alaugMSFT  and @v-yuxima-msft , but the issue here is very disconcerting.

Essentially, in our case the custom connector is setup as an app registration in Azure AD with an official Microsoft API, the Flow Service (Approvals.ManageAll, Approvals.ReadAll, User).

Everyone finds that the permissions PopUp in SharePoint( before the PowerApp runs in the PowerApp webpart) unacceptable it seems.  I wouldn't mind it myself but its the end users and it worries me.

Whats make it worse is that I'm using a Microsoft API in the custom connector, so it shouldn't need to PopUp like that and break the user experience.

My question is as follows, it was said that for a Custom Connector relying on Basic or OAuth authentication that the PopUp cannot be bypassed.  For API key authentication it can be, but it appears the MS FlowService API in Azure AD only supports OAuth authentication for the custom connector.

1) Is there any way to use an API key with it instead of OAuth? 

2) Or can I get around the pop up by configuring it to "Application Permissions" instead of "Delegated Permissions" in Azure AD? (incidentally "Applicaiton Permissions" is greyed out, unselectable for some reason so this is probably moot)

3) if I use only two of the three Flow Services(Approvals.ManageAll, Approvals.ReadAll) will that prevent the popup? 

4) Are there any other ways to bypass, it seems the PowerShell Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent commandlet doesn't work for custom connectors

please advise and thank you very much for your assistance on this matter,

Evan

Hi,

Looking at this the customer connector will need to authenticate in some way, however I am not certain exactly how that would work to change it like you want. This might be a better question for Microsoft Support. I'll include a link below; if you would like to go down that route. Otherwise if any other members of the communities might know feel free to chime in.

If you would like to create a ticket with Microsoft Customer Support here is a link on how to do so: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/get-help-support

Regards,

Alex

Hi Alex, 

thank you very much for your reply Alex,

I'm on a developer tenant, but the project is for a client who is migrating from on Prem to an Office365 E5 license through a Microsoft certified Gold Partner, but my work is all on my developer subscription and

I don't have access to customer support from my Developer Tenant it seems

I have a feeling Microsoft hasn't patched this horrible user experience / deal breaker like it did for the others using the Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent  which won't work for custom connectors but I am still holding out hope

before I abandon the Flow Service API and just code directly to CDS

can anyone please chime in  @alaugMSFT  and @v-yuxima-msft ?
