Force Sync Users to a Dataverse Environment

Unlike a default environment in your tenant, which includes all valid users in Entra, other Dataverse environments that use security groups to control access do not automatically sync those users. In order for a user to obtain access to an environment, they need the following: A valid Power Apps license Access to the environment’s security group A security role within the environment If any of those three conditions aren’t met, then nope—no access. Even then, however, the user still won’t automatically show up! The reason is because Dataverse uses just-in-time (JIT) user provisioning, meaning qualified users are only…

A common requirement is the need to collect responses from users outside of your organization.

Import Data into a Many-to-Many Relationship Table in Dataverse

Importing data into a table in Dataverse auto-created by a many-to-many relationship proves to be much less straight-forward than it ought to be. For example, PowerApps Dataflows don't support importing to them. In this post, I’ll showcase two methods to import data using both Power Automate and the Dataverse Web API. Scenario: The Auto Inventory Manager I have this Dataverse data model for my Auto Inventory Management solution: Many Models can belong to a single make. That's a classic Many-To-One relationship. However, many models come in many different body styles. (Ex: a Honda Civic comes in a hatchback…

Intro to Deep Linking in PowerApps

Instead of opening an app's main screen, there are scenarios where you'd want to directly take a user to a specific screen. This post will explore how to deep link to a specific record in both Canvas and Model Driven Apps. Example Use Case Consider an example where app contains Purchase Orders. When someone creates a new purchase order (PO), Power Automate sends an email to the manager with a deep link to the corresponding PO. The deep link directly to the main form for that PO.

Fetch a List of PowerApps across Environments

One of the challenges I’ve faced when using the Power Apps Admin Center is getting a quick view of all the apps within all environments for documentation purposes. Sure, you can go into each environment's Admin Center and view the apps, but this is not efficient. Even worse, from there, there's no way export the a list of the apps! To solve this, I explored several options before landing on the approach I describe below. First, I tried PowerShell with the Get-AdminPowerApp cmdlet—but that only returns Canvas App data. No Model-Driven Apps in sight. Then I turned to…

Automated Azure AD Credential Expiration Alerts

All secrets and certificates created within Azure App Registrations have expiration dates, making it crucial for administrators to stay informed to take timely action. Microsoft does not provide an automated notification for this. However, by leveraging Microsoft Graph API and Power Automate, you can set up automated alerts to notify when secrets and certificates are nearing expiration—or have already expired. Below is an example e-mail of expiring and expired secrets and certificates generated by Power Automate: The end-result in e-mail showing expiring secrets, expired secrets, as well as an a csv export of all secrets.
