Hello All,
I have an excel file in onedrive which is use as a backend to build a PowerApp. I want to expose the PowerApp via PowerBI using PowerApps custom visual. So I sourced the same excel file in PowerBI and embedded the powerApp using custom visual. The app will show the data in Excel and the user can update the data if needed.
Everything works fine in this setup but things are getting complicated while sharing with other people. It looks like I have to share the backend excel file in OneDrive while adding a user to PowerBI and PowerApp. This has become a three step process now. Is there a way to automatically share the excel file when the power bi or power app is shared with an user?
Another problem: if I grant access to users in a distribution list, everyone can see the excel file in the "Shared with me" section after they login to their onedrive account. If any one opens that file it gets locked and the app cannot update it. How can we avoid this issue?
