Power apps set button visible if user email is the same as requestors email


I have a form request and i want to let someone edit only his own request except from me and my team that we can always edit. So I need to set edit button visible only for my team and the original creator of the form. I used the user.email to get the email of the user who uses the app but I cant use equality netween this variable and the data card value as its incompatible user type. Text with table. How can i get the email in the data card and compare it to the users email?

Here I want to keep the requestors email from the box filled from a list and this is in read the request screen


Solution

  • I used on change action of the datacard and used set global variable varUserEmail to thisitem.requestoremail . Then i set the button visible if the user email = varUserEmail.Email . So in this way everytime the email changes to the email that is supposed to edit the request the buttons are visible for editing or deleting the report.
