Model driven Power Apps permissions explained

A few years ago, I’ve shifted my attention from Project Online towards the modern “Model Driven Power Apps” solutions. And with this switch there’s a lot of new information to learn. One of the most steep learning curve was/is regarding the permissions structure of Model driven Power Apps.

This article is as much here to help you along the way when you are pressed to work with security topics in model driven power apps. As it is a reminder for myself on “how did that work again?”.

This is a more technical article than you might be used to on The Project Corner, and I can fully understand if this is not something to your taste. Please, take some time to explore the other articles on the site.

Prompting Copilot (with Dall-E3) “Create an image:
Product feature marketing style.
The product is Microsoft Planner. And the new feature we are showcasing is the baseline.”

Oh my, AI… Are you feeling alright? This image just looks horribly wrong. How is this a marketing style product feature image? And what is a Baselase🤷‍♂️?

Generative AI and the PMO, prompt example and more (weekly updates)

Last week I read about Meta’s work on AI, and a couple of articles describing AI as a big bubble that’s about to pop.

Some actionable items, and a big announcement at the end of the post. Thanks for dropping by another weekly article on Artificial Intelligence and project management.

Generative AI, Bing Create made this artificial inteligence image from the prompt provided down below.
This prompt was quite big, so here’s just a little text and the real prompt is below.
