PowerApps Gallery not showing SharePoint data for users - sharepoint

I have a PowerApp that is a gallery showing a list from SharePoint and also an input mask for said list in SharePoint. The input part works flawlessly for me and my collegues, but the gallery part which should be showing the data from the SharePoint list is giving me a headache.
I can see the data from the SP list in the App. My colleagues with whom I shared the App only see a blank list.
When they first open the shared app they have to accept a prompt from the SharePoint connector & I have given them all access to the specific SharePoint list. Yet they still don't see anything in the PowerApp gallery that should show the SP data.
I checked the connections in the App setting and the SharePoint connection works. Also I can see the data. Although the connector is showing my personal SharePoint account, but afaik by granting the SharePoint access on the first opening of the App this should take care of that.
TLDR:
PowerApp has a gallery that shows SP data and that works for me but not for the users whom I shared the App with. They only see a blank gallery. How do I fix that?

I thankfully found the issue myself after some digging around in the settings. In the Advanced List setting the following option was not set to read all:
Item-level Permissions
Specify which items users can read and edit.
With this option correctly set everyone is now able to see the list items.
Have a great day and I hope this might help someone!

I created a PowerApp that is linked to a SharePoint List. A user said 'dont allow' on the sharepoint access question, can they change to allow access?

I have created a PowerApp in Microsoft PowerApps, which is linked to a SharePoint list. Most users accept the access prompt that Microsoft makes them do. However, for those that clicked 'Do not allow' accidently, there does not seem to be a way to allow them again. Is there a way?
They can open their connections page and add a sharepoint connection from there.

sharepoint online - Powerapp integration

I want to integrate a workflow done with Powerapp into a sharpoint online website, but when I follow the instructions displayed here -> https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/create-a-powerapp-for-a-list-in-sharepoint-online-9338b2d2-67ac-4b81-8e67-97da27e5e9ab
There is no drop-down list for Powerapp anywhere on the page when I look at my list. Do I make a mistake by following the instruction? Or is this an sharepoint online limitation?
Check out the section "Activating PowerApps in a SharePoint list" in the document link you shared. You need to enable this for your list in the Advanced Settings for the list app if this is not enabled by your tenant administrator.
I think its List Settings, Advanced Settings, New Experience

Embedded PowerBI in SharePoint - Targeted Audience?

I have a number of PowerBI dashboards on our SharePoint 2013 online site. We are working on a plan to only display relevant dashboards to the user based on their user group. For example, a salesperson will only see their personal dashboard on the page. I can do this for image viewer, etc., but I cannot figure out how to edit a PowerBI webpart to target an audience. Any suggestions would be most welcomed.

I suggest you to use Row level security.
Select the Modeling tab.
Select Manage Roles.
3.Select Create
4.Provide a name for the role.
5.Select the table that you want to apply a DAX rule.
6.Enter the DAX expressions. This expression should return a true or false. For example: [UserID] = userprincipalname().
And Save.
For this you need a field where the username is registered, means that user has visibility on that row. If you don't have this information, then you will need to add some information to the row, to give visibility to whom deserve it.
After you have created your role, you can test the results of the role within Power BI Desktop. To do this, select View As Roles.
And then play around to check if what you get is what you want.
Hope that helps!
I had to revert the SP page to a Classic interface, then create individual Web Parts for each dashboard on the page, limiting each Web Part by the targeted audience. The Web Parts are not visible on the main Dashboard Portal page unless you are in the targeted audience, so you could see 1 or up to 5 dashboard previews on the page. An individual page was needed for each Power BI dashboard. A user cannot be prevented from seeing the dashboard if they are provided the URL, but hiding the hyperlink and preview screenshot on the Portal page is close enough. This should be easier to execute in SP... Oh well...

Configuring Group site with harmon.ie

We are using Harmom.ie for Outlook to save e-mails and documents in SharePoint sites. Recently we started to use the Planner and Groups and we want to use Harmon.ie to save documents and emails into group sites. In Harmon.ie there is an option to enable groups sites. We have done that. When doing this an Office 365 Global admin must give consent. We also done that. However when a user try to access they are not allowed to access. According to the documentation something need to be set up on Azure giving the add proper Graph access.
The question is. How do we do this??? has anyone else got this to work? When we access the app on Azure there is not much we can do?
We are stock! any help will be much appreciated.
There are different ways to solve this. Harmon.ie also allows you to connect to teams & groups - and I suppose this is what you tried to do. We also did this. It was a little bit complex - but after some communication with the harmon.ie support, we got it working.
However, I am proposing a different way to solve your problem. Why? Currently, the problem with this teams and groups connection is, that you are not getting all the functionality of normal site connection (if you connect a SharePoint site to: https://www.harmon.ie). You are only going to see the documents library of your office group - and nothing else. But as an office group just uses a normal SharePoint Site, you could also have other libraries created.
What you can do is, get
1. get the site url (every office group has a SharePoint-Site behind)
2. and book it into harmon.ie manually
You will than have access to the document libraries.
for this solution, you do not need any additional configuration of teams and groups access.

Use Pictures from another website as SharePoint profile pictures

We have a "corporate directory" website that displays some contact information about our employees. Among other things like displaying data from Active Directory, it also displays a picture, which can be retrieve via a URL of the format http://[CorpDir]/PersonPhoto.aspx?email=[UserEmail]
I'm now looking for a way to use these pictures as profile pictures in SharePoint, as easy as possible. Custom coding for SharePoint is not an option for us at the moment.
The easiest way would be to set the PictureUrl property for each user profile. Even if you can't add custom code on the server to do that, you can probably write code elsewhere that uses the web services to set the profile.
You may also be able to do it with customization of the out of box AD import - take a look at the settings for that and what you have available in AD.
