PowerApps Image

[Caleb62881177]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to use the expression below and be able to select your own image from you PC and that selected image to still be visible when I use the app again.

User().Image

I hope anyone can help.

Hi @Caleb62881177,

You'll have to save that image as a profile picture of the current user. If you don't save it lose it when the app is re-opened. You can easily achieve this by calling a Power Automate flow within the app using the "Update my profile photo" action from the Office365 connector.

1. Make sure the trigger is PowerApps (V2).
2. Add a File parameter and pass it to the image content
   
3. Then add the flow to your app:
   
4. And you can call it directly from Power FX and passing the image content from the Power App control as a 1st parameter.

Hope this helps!

Hi @EricRegnier , Shouldn't that update your profile on your AD account?

[EricRegnier]

Yup exactly it will. Based on your expression, thought that this what you would like to do.... If you don't want to update your AD image, then you'll have to save in a new image field/column part of a Dataverse table (eg User / systemuser) if you're using Dataverse, and here's how to upload the image with a flow: https://learn.microsoft.com/power-automate/dataverse/upload-download-file?WT.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004271#up...

Hi @EricRegnier , Is it possible to store the image on SharePoint List/Library and use both AD image and Uploaded image?

[EricRegnier]

@Caleb62881177, yes it's possible too.  You can also do it directly in Power FX (see this thread)

[Caleb62881177]

@EricRegnier  Is it possible to do it without a Power Automate Flow and store it on SharePoint?

[EricRegnier]

Hi @Caleb62881177, yes it is for both do it in Power FX and stored in SharePoint 🙂 I don't want to recopy the details from the other thread here, but have a look at the link in my previous post, here it is again for your conveniency:] https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Saving-image-from-power-apps-to-sharepoint/t...

Hi @EricRegnier ,

I forgot to mention that I wanted to use the Add picture tool in PowerApps to upload the image to SharePoint and the image will only be show to the Office365Users.MyProfileV2().displayName when they logout and login again to the app.

I hope that helps.

Hi @Caleb62881177, what do you mean by show "Office365Users.MyProfileV2().displayName when they logout and login again"? Office365Users object is bound to Entra ID (formally AAD) details, if you update it will apply across your account...
