How can I add permission to a canvas app via Github actions ?

[LeonardSchwenk]

I have dev and prd environment in dev I'm the owner of the canvas app.

When I deploy the solution where the canvas app is within the canvas app has no permissions and I had to manually add myself to the app via the PowerApps admin portal.

How can I add a security group or something similar to my solution and to the app.

Thanks in advance

Hi @LeonardSchwenk,

I hope you are doing well.

I am not sure if there is currently a way to achieve this using an out-of-the-box action from this repository.

But it does not mean it is not achievable 😉
You can share canvas app with specific permissions using the set-adminpowerapproleassignment command from the Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell PowerShell module.

You can find an example of an implementation in the following links:

• microsoft/coe-alm-accelerator-templates - share-canvas-app-with-aad-group.yml
• microsoft/coe-alm-accelerator-templates - canvas-unpack-pack.ps1

I hope it will help you.
Have a great day.
