How to implement user roles in PowerApps applications

To define user roles in PowerApps, it is recommended to use M365 groups. Create a group for each role and manage the members and permissions in one place. To check if a user is a member of a group, you can implement the logic directly in the PowerApps app or in a Power Automate flow. In the app, you can list the members of a group using the Office365Groups connector and check if the user's email is among them. In a flow, you can get the user's groups and return them to the app. Another option is to check if the user has a specific role on the environment by looking up the roles in the Users table or the Teams they are a member of. Overall, using M365 groups and implementing the logic in PowerApps or Power Automate can help define and recognize user roles in PowerApps.
