These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. A user built a canvas app that uses a SharePoint list. When they add the app to a Teams channel, some users cannot see the data. The app works fine when opened directly from Power Apps. What is the most likely cause?
medium- A.The users do not have Power Apps licenses assigned
- B.The app uses a deprecated connector
- ✓ C.The users do not have permissions to the underlying SharePoint list
- D.The SharePoint connector requires a Premium license in Teams
Why C: The most likely cause is that users do not have permissions to the underlying SharePoint list. When the app is accessed via Teams, the app runs in the context of the user, and SharePoint permissions are enforced. Even though the app works when opened directly from Power Apps (if the user has permissions), adding it to a Teams channel may expose users who lack access to the list. Option A is incorrect because licenses are per user and not specific to Teams; if users have Power Apps licenses, they can use the app. Option B is incorrect because the app works outside Teams, so the connector is not deprecated. Option D is incorrect because the SharePoint connector does not require a Premium license in Teams.
