Share app with thousands of users

[dev85]

Hello guys

I've just created an app to store some information within our organization. Now I need to share it with around 4300 employees. All the tables for this app are coming from dataverse so I created a security role for the user to be able to see and create records in those tables. Now the issue is that I need to assign this security role to each user. Right now Power Apps only allows to add the role 1 user at a time, if I add several users at the same time the permissions field becomes disabled:

Is there a way to add several users at the same time and assign the table permissions? Otherwise it will take literally weeks to add user by user.

Just a suggestion, but can you not use an AD group?

Hi @subsguts 

You mean Azure Directory group? We thought of that, however we don´t have those permissions (to create groups in Azure) and we are trying to figure out a way to do that without the need to ask for those because in our company that can take a lot of time.

Well, I think you stumped me.  However, I did some searching and found this video.  It may or may not be helpful.  It's interesting at least 🙂 
Let me and the rest following this thread if this leads to a solution and/or if it leads to a different solution.

Thanks

Actually I'm watching the same video and when I try to create the group, it shows this:

Great minds think alike 😉 Looks like maybe the ability to do this was "turned off".  He said that it comes turned on by default, unless someone turned it off.  Maybe you can ask your admins to see if they can change it back?
