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.

The doorman, a funny analogy of access to the Model Driven Power Apps. He's testing to see if you are on the list to enter. And which drinks you are allowed to drink, what music you are listening to, and who you see in the Power App bar. — The doorman (the security rules), seeing if you are on the list to enter.

About the Planner Baseline

Microsoft Planner has a new feature! It’s capable of capturing a baseline. I covered the feature in a recent video on YouTube. It’s a feature available only for premium plans. And there’s more to the feature than meets the eye. Let’s dig in!

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. From my perspective, Generative AI is still a very valuable addition to the workforce. So this article covers Projectum’s progress in the field and another prompt you can use as part of the PMO.

Oh and remember that Jetpack has AI now as well? Let’s ask the AI to write a paragraph on Project Management as well.

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.

[Subject: Project Manager at Workplace], [Purpose: Illustration], [Mood: Confident], [Style: Minimalistic], [Background: Solid colour] Create a minimalist illustration depicting a confident Project Manager doing work in an office. Use simple lines and shapes to symbolize the person’s confidence and professionalism. The solid colour background should complement the overall mood and create a sense of professionalism.

I took inspiration from a previous newsletter from Zain.
