What’s happening?
The customer is seeking information on how to change the ownership of components in the Power App homepage.
 

Reason:
The underlying cause is related to the need for a method to change the ownership of components within the Power App environment.
 

Resolution:
To change the ownership of a model-driven app in Power Apps, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new solution (name it appropriately, e.g., "AAA") in Power Apps.
  2. Open the created solution and click on [Add Existing] - [Apps] - [Model-driven app].
  3. Select the model-driven app you wish to change ownership of and add it to the solution.
  4. Return to the solution list and select the relevant solution, then click on [Export Solution].
  5. Once the export is complete, download the zip file.
  6. Extract the downloaded zip file and modify the "solution.xml" file using a text editor or Visual Studio Code, changing the necessary values.
  7. Delete the existing model-driven app from the environment.
  8. Open the solution in Power Apps and click on [Import Solution].
  9. Select the modified zip file to import it back into the environment.
  10. The ownership of the model-driven app will now reflect the new user as the owner.
Note: If the model-driven app already exists in the environment, it must be deleted before the new ownership can be established. It is recommended to consider the potential impact on business operations before proceeding with ownership changes.
