Power Platform Admin Center – App Access Checker

When troubleshooting why a user can’t access a model-driven app, the App Access Checker in the Power Platform Admin Center is your go-to tool.

What does it do?

The App Access Checker allows admins to simulate a user’s access to an app. Instead of trial and error, you can instantly see whether a user:

• Has access to the app
• Is missing security roles or privileges
• Needs adjustments at the environment or app level

How to use it

1. Navigate to Power Platform Admin Center → Environments
2. Select your environment and go to Settings
3. Under Users + Permissions, choose Users -> choose App Access Checker
4. Pick the app, enter the user, and run the check
5. Review the access results

Why it’s useful

• Saves time by validating access without impersonation
• Helps identify whether the issue is role-based or app-level
• Reduces user frustration by quickly pinpointing the problem
