You’re offline. This is a read only version of the page.

How can I make an entity Account read only in PowerApps?? I have tried it by adding Controls. It should be read only when I open the account form in mobile.
A couple of ideas -
(a) Create/Update a security role and make it read only for the Account entity, Add the security role to the model driven app for FS Mobile. Add the user to the security role.
(b) Create a form and lock all the fields, add the form to the FS Mobile Model driven app
(c) Create your own PCF component, they can be added to the mobile app
Thankyou for replying but how do I change the form on PowerApps because whenever I add the page of Account, by default it takes the main account form.
Basically having same form on both places is stopping me to get it as read only.
Create a new form to be used only on the mobile - ie enable it in the FS mobile app instead of the desktop app.
You then create a Business Rule to apply just for that form. The Business Rule should lock all fields on the form if Account contains a value, which it always will.
Hope this helps
The users from the desktop have a different security role from the mobile app?
Can you confirm that you have one form for the mobile app?
Hi. If the security is not an issue, I would make the field on the form read-only.
Hi.
Are the users accessing the mobile app different from the desktop app? You could apply for a different security role.
If you are using the Field Service app, there is an account mobile app form so you can set the field to read-only over there.
