Error when trying to retrieve data from the network

When deploying a solution to a test environment:

  • One user has been added and assigned the role "Basic user" - for testing purposes, this user will only be able to use the app but not the app maker nor the backend data.

  • The user opens the app but upon opening the following error message is displayed:

    Error when trying to retrieve data from the network: Principal user (Id=xxa, type=8, roleCount=1, privilegeCount=438, accessMode='0 Read-Write', MetadataCachePrivilegesCount=4023, businessUnitId=xxx), is missing prvReadcre05_Formadores privilege (Id=1cxxx) on OTC=10438 for entity 'cre05_formadores' (LocalizedName='Formadores'). context.Caller=07xxx. Consider adding miss...

So it seems the user has no privileges to access the Dataverse tables.

What kind of configurations should be done in this environment?

Thanks!
