PowerApps: remove popup asking users for permission at first run

So you’ve created a fantastic new line of business app within Powerapps and you’re ready to launch it to your users, however on first run your users are greeted with a pop-up box asking to grant permission to the connectors.

Although it’s not the end of the world, it’s not very user friendly and could put non-savvy users off when using the app. In this tutorial i’ll show you how you can easily disable the popup using Powershell and the Powerapps Connector.

Step 1

Install the PowerApps connector by launching Powershell as admin and running the following cmdlets

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -AllowClobber

Step 2

Sign into the connector using the following cmdlet and enter your tennant admin credentials

Add-PowerAppsAccount

Step 3

You now need to find two pieces of information from your Tennant, you will need the Environment Name GUID And the App Name GUID

To do this go to your apps screen in PowerApps and click the ‘More Commands’ (3 dots) and choose details.

Here you will see the App GUID, note this down.

To find the Environment ID, click the ‘Settings’ cog icon, and choose Session Details

Note this down.

Step 4

Now you should enter the following cmdlet

Set-AdminPowerAppApisToBypassConsent -EnvironmentName Your-Environment-GUID-Here -AppName Your-App-GUID-Here

Now your Powerapp should no longer ask users to grant permission on first run.
