Canvas app show data in admin user

Posted on 9 Oct 2022 07:29:52 by

Hello,

I have few controls in the canvas apps in edit form which i want them to show ALL values regardless of the user logged in. The logged in user has user level access on table and hence it is going to show limited data only. I want to show all data.

How can this be implemented.

    Hi Jeff,

     

    This is how Microsoft implements the security and the only way to bypass this is by impersonation.

     

    Currently, there seems to be no way to impersonate another user, so retrieving & showing all the records which logged-in users don’t have access to doesn’t seem to be possible right now.

     

    As an alternate approach, you can tweak only the read privilege of the entity to the organization level for a security role that the logged-in user has.

     

    This will allow the logged-in user to read all the records but prevent them from editing.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

    Thanks,

    Sam

    Hi JeffGreenrc,

    Why do you not want to follow Microsoft security? I do not think it is a good idea.

    Let me know if I can provide you with more details.

    Thanks
