Power Apps/Dataverse Tables in Teams not accessible

[Tal22]

Once a Power App / Dataverse table is created in Teams, the App/table cannot be accessed for modification, editing or deletion.  Is there a work around to this, like a connector I don't know about? If not, I don't see how building power apps/tables in Teams is viable idea.

I can access and edit all dataverse tablles, and powerapps made for teams from the powerapps tab in teams, then under the build section. perhaps you are in wrong place?

If you build the app and the Table using the Power Apps app inside Teams you can definitely get back to the Tables to modify them.  If you don't see the Tables in teh build tab then click on the See All link at the bottom.  That will show you everything in the environment for that team.

Thanks,

I've been making the mistake of referring to Microsoft documentation/learn resource, which are inaccurate at best and completely erroneous at worst.  It seems that Microsoft doesn't understand how to use its own tech. Is there an authorities learning source outside of the MS environment you can recommend?

Thank you, this did the trick. As I mentioned, I've been making the mistake of referring to Microsoft documentation/learn resource, which are inaccurate at best and completely erroneous at worst. It looks like the only   expert users here are not MS employees. Strange.

TBH outside of forum members blogs like

I mostly just know what to do

Are you sure you are looking at the right documentation?  You should be starting here and looking at Dataverse for Teams.  Microsoft Dataverse for Teams overview - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn Have you been looking at the regular Dataverse documentation instead?  They are a bit different.

I looked at another MS resource but not this one. I'll take a look at this, but I find much of MS's documentation does not track with what I see on my end. 

Thanks

Hi,

So, I read the link you sent me and I was able to create a Dataverse table in Teams. However, and I don't know if this is an oversight or missing capability, but there is not an option to publish the Table in a Teams Channel. With that, there is no logic creating a Dataverse table in Teams when it cannot be shared in Teams. Given my experience with Dataverse, it is not a viable data base platform. (It feels like a beta platform still in development to me.) I just don't see the value in a database platform that seemingly is impossible to share. 

Access is a database platform that actually can be shared and used by other people. Is there a way to install an Access database on Teams?

Thanks for the solution to build a Dataverse table in the Teams environment. Unfortunately, this is a half measure because Dataverse tables cannot be published or shared in a Teams Channel. No value in that.
