Sharing a Canvas app is the process that allows other users or security groups within your organization to open and run the app. While you don't directly share connection credentials themselves, sharing the app grants users access to the data sources through the app, based on how the connections are configured (using the app owner's credentials for some types, or the end-user's credentials for others).
Based on the provided information, here are the steps to share a Canvas app:
Steps to Share Your Canvas App
To enable users to access the data and functionality of your Canvas app, you need to share the app itself with them. This process is straightforward:
- Select the app: Go to the list of your apps and choose the specific app you wish to share.
- Initiate the Sharing Process:
- Look for the Share option on the command bar at the top.
- Alternatively, select the Commands menu (often represented by three dots) next to your app's name and then select Share from the dropdown options.
- Identify Recipients: In the Share dialog box that appears, you need to specify who you want to share the app with. Type the names or aliases of individual users or security groups that exist in your Microsoft Entra ID.
- Grant Permissions: Once you've added the users or groups, you can configure their permissions (typically, giving them the ability to run the app). You might also designate co-owners if you want others to be able to edit and manage the app.
- Confirm and Share: Review the list of recipients and their permissions, then select Share to finalize the process.
After sharing, the designated users or groups will be able to find and run your app. They will then access the data sources the app uses through the app's connections, without needing direct access to the connection details themselves.
