PowerApps and Sharepoint List access permission

[bishoy]

Hi,

i would like to know if there's way to make some cards view mode only view or edit depends on the user who use the app which is connected to sharepoint list ?

You can use a If(User().FullName = "Full Name Here", DisplayMode.View, DisplayMode.Edit)

There are some better ways to store users or even create a table of users to lookup their "permissions" level if you need to get really complicated but otherwise you can just do multiple names in the If statement.

hi @JRaasumaa

the user name depends on what ? 

as the AD account or my full name

and what about the better way ?

can you give me some examples ?

[bishoy]

i have two users

1- 

Name : User name 1

AD : user1

2- 

Name : USer name 2

AD: User2

The username is the FirstName and LastName used to sign into the Office.com 365 services.

You can also pull their email address if that is a safer unique value (in large organizations)

Check out this link here to see more about caching the username to speed up filtering if needed:

My suggestion is to make a few Text fields and put User().FullName into it (as well as email etc.) and see what the results look like for your app.

i already did the same but i still able to edit 

The full name is my email which i use it to login to o365

[bishoy]

i also tried this one

If(User().Email = "my office 365 email", DisplayMode.View)

no errors but not working i still can edit the card

The easiest way would be to use the || as an OR statement and add multiple users.

If(User().FullName = "Joe Smith" || User().FullName = "Jane Smith", DisplayMode.View, DisplayMode.Edit)
