Building Power Apps

Hi @samxu,

These are standard requirements for authentication when a user first uses a Power App (and sometimes when it is updated). It is possible to disable them with PowerShell (see this video).

The extent of the permissions will depend on exactly what functions the App and any linked Flows requires to do. When an app is run, it is done so in the context of the logged-in user and Power Apps had to make sure that the user firstly has a valid licence and also that they are aware of anything that may be run. The example you have posted seems to stem mainly from Power Automate Flows as these are by default also run fron the user's account.

For the Flow actions (not anything linked to Power Apps directly), providing the user is properly licensed for all the relevant actions (from the point of licensing rather than functional terms) , it is possible to use the Run only users function in the Flow settings and use other connectors not belonging to the user, in which case they will not get a prompt for the particular function, An example I use regularly is Outlook, to send emails from an admin mailbox, rather than the user's account without having to share the mailbox with everyone.

The permissions can only action whatever is in the App or Flow - it does not give anyone else access. so you might explain to the user exactly what is done (example OneDrive you might be creating a temporary file).
