Restricting System Views to Security Groups

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by
Hello everyone,
 
I'm currently doing some development work in Power Apps for our Dynamics 365 CRM. A problem that I'm having is restricting visibility of created system views to specific security groups in our system. I want to be able to publish the system views to our application, but I don't want every user seeing the system view as a dropdown to select from. I'm aware of their being view settings where I can assign security groups to each system view, but it hasn't worked when restricting access/visibility of them in the application. Once I publish the system view to the application, regardless of the security groups assigned to the system view, it's still available for all users to see and select. Perhaps I'm not understanding the view settings purpose correctly and not applying it as it's intended, but I'm hoping anyone can provide some clarification behind that. 
 
The main purpose of why I'm trying to do this stems from a different problem. We have dashboards setup for specific security groups that contain those system views. The system views within those dashboards are not added to the application, so no one can see the system views as a dropdown options. It's only visible in the dashboards and those dashboards are only visible to specific security groups. The problem is that when someone tries to click on the "See all records" or "View records" buttons on the lists/charts, they're not able to see the detailed records that makeup the list/chart. That's because the system view that's used for that chart is not published to the application, so they can't see them. The users still technically have the ability to filter that information and create their own personal views to get the same records. They're not restricted from doing that on their own, but because the system views aren't published to the app, they can't view the records behind that specific chart and see the same system view details. 
 
We want users to view the records behind the dashboard charts. If we're able to do this without publishing the views to the app, then that would be perfect. If we have to add all the system views to the application in order for a user to see the records behind the dashboards, then we want to restrict who can see those system views in their dropdown list. We have a lot of system views used across our dashboards and we don't want everyone seeing every single system view in their dropdowns and cluttering their point of view in the app. If anyone knows if this is possible, then I'd kindly appreciate any tips and help.
