[CoE Starter Kit - Feature]: CoE utility to update Owner/Derived Owner for orphaned SharePointFormApps #8408

Open jmhack01 opened 3 months ago

jmhack01 commented 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am trying to clean-up orphaned SharePointFormApps, but there is no way to do it natively in the Power Platform administration or COE toolkit. All SharePoint form apps are managed through the Sharepoint interface. While another user can modify the app from SharePoint, the owner doesn't change. This creates an issue with the owner has left the organization and the SharePointFormApp is orphaned.

Describe the solution you'd like

A CoE toolkit utility that will let you update the Owner for a SharePointFormApp. The Power Platform flows utility has a similar feature to update a "derived owner", so at least the CoE toolkit reporting recognized a new owner.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Creating a custom flow that modifies the PowerApps App table to change the owner

Additional context?

I have noticed other users on the internet with similar issue. Here is a Reddit article describing such: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerApps/comments/wwt2mb/change_owner_of_sharepointformapp_pa_in_spo_not/

Thank you for the proposal. Putting on the backlog for PM consideration.

Hi, I am also cleaning up the orphaned objects and facing the same issue, will this be considered for a future release?

Jenefer-Monroe commented 2 months ago

Hello unfortunately we have some large competing priorities at the moment and so this is not something we will be funding soon.

Thanks Jenefer, is there a way to stop the manager of the former employee receiving the notifications each week for the orphaned objects?

Jenefer-Monroe commented 2 months ago

Unfortunately no, not other than having them assign the new owners using the utilities provided. We do not have an "ignore" feature for the orphan feature area. If they assign the new owners though, then they will not get the message any longer.
