PCF Control API Consume

Posted on by Power Platform Comm...

Hi,

I have a requirement to display the contact detail of one instance (B) to contact form of another Instance (A).

I have decided to use the PCF control and use the rest API call to other Instance as the user has the access to both environments.

both environments are created on the same power platform tenant.

Question is, how to consume the API with SSO, without promoting login? steps to use the ADAL or MSAL libraries ???.

I have the same question (0)

Hi @Gowrikaran ,

Maybe is not what you're searching for, but what do you think about integrating a CanvasApp with details from instance B, in the form of instance A?
The idea of PCF would work of course (maybe you can make a custom action and call it from the PCF), but I think the CanvasApp possibility to combine more Connectors would make the work for you.

Kind regards,

Diana

Hi @DianaBirkelbach , thanks for the solution, yes that is a quick and good solution but Canvas App is an extra cost and performance consideration. so prefer to use PCF control.

Kind regards

Hi @Gowrikaran ,

The PCF could use a CustomAction (CustomAPI when is released), and implement there the connection.

Another alternative could be, maybe using Virtual Entities: then you don't need a PCF.

Kind regards,

Hi @DianaBirkelbach ,

Thanks for your replay first, I forgot to mention that additional requirement that users need to impersonate on other Organisation as well, based on their access on other org, data should retrieve.

The virtual entity is org level and it not possible to create user/team owned.

PCF with Custom action ,Possible to impersonate current user to another Org ?

Thanks

Hi @Gowrikaran ,

Inside the CustomAction PlugIn you will need to create a connection to the other Org , und then you can impersonate by setting the orgService.CallerId .

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply @DianaBirkelbach

Using Caller ID, get the user profile and pass it to other organisation for impersonation on the other Organisation?

Thanks

Hi @Gowrikaran

As far as I know it doesn't work that way: You need to create a new connection, so authenticate again. You could still impersonate, but need a service account for the connection.

Kind regards,

Diana
