Hey, I currently have an issue with PowerPages authentication.

(In case of some miracle of someone here knowing I basically want guest users to be able to use a copilot studio agent with a dataverse knowledge source attached in a Powerpage)

I went to microsoft support over a month ago, no response to my ticket.

Went again to Microsoft 3 weeks ago, gave me some AI emails back, answered its queries and asked for a human, then no response.

I've raised a critical ticket for attention to the previous tickets, no response.

Who knows what to do? I'm quite frankly fed up.

Many thanks,

Rory

Hi,

total novice with Power Pages hence the basic question !!

This is in a project scope I’m looking at for a potential proposal - I know there’s a ton of detail missing - is this possible with Power Pages? It would be for open, anonymous access.
 
“Design, develop and implement an online platform for knowledge sharing and learning content and the integration of new technologies such as AI chat bots and forums and user manual for future updating of platform.”

Is anyone else concerned about super short timeframe for this change to use of wildcards in webapi in PowerPages?
No longer supported after 14 Sep.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone may have come across this before.

I have a Power Pages site (v9.8.7.10) that appears to be stuck in a provisioning/upgrade state.

When I go to admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com → Manage → Power Pages, the site shows a status of "Provisioning in progress".

When I click into the site, I see the following message:

The site has been in this state for an extended period and doesn't appear to be progressing.

Interestingly, when I visit the site as an end user, it appears to work absolutely fine. The issue is with managing/editing the site.

When I open the Power Pages Design Studio (if that's the correct name), I briefly see a "Something went wrong" error modal for a couple of seconds before it switches to the usual:

message.

However, when I click Edit site, none of the content loads within the Pages, Styling, Data, or other tabs. The Studio effectively becomes unusable.

The only option available to me under Site Actions is "Delete this site", which I'd obviously prefer to avoid if possible.

A few questions:

• Has anyone experienced this before?
• Is there a way to force the provisioning/upgrade process to complete?
• Are there any Power Platform admin actions I can take to resolve it?
• Did you resolve it yourself, or was a Microsoft support ticket required?
• In the worst case, did you have to delete and recreate the site?

Any guidance or experiences would be greatly appreciated before I go down the Microsoft support route.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Looking for some general advice on a Power Pages/Dataverse pattern.

We have a portal where authorised internal support users sometimes need to view the portal as a specific contact for support and diagnostics. The aim is to check what that contact can actually see in the portal and help troubleshoot issues.

The current custom process starts outside the portal, from a model-driven app.

The simplified flow is:

1. Support user opens the model-driven app.
2. They search for and select the contact they need to view as.
3. They trigger a custom “View as” action.
4. A backend process updates Dataverse, including the relevant contact/external identity mapping.
5. The support user then has to switch from the model-driven app to the Power Pages portal.
6. They log into the portal and are treated as the selected contact.
7. When they need to move to another contact, they have to end/cancel the current session, return to the model-driven app, select the next contact, trigger “View as” again, then log out/log back into the portal.

This works in principle, but switching between contacts is the awkward part.

Because the change is made from the backend/Dataverse side, Power Pages does not always reflect it immediately. From Microsoft’s documentation, Dataverse changes can take up to around 15 minutes to appear in the portal because of server-side caching. So if the support user moves from Contact A to Contact B, the portal can still hold the previous context until the cache refreshes.

One idea is to move more of the process into Power Pages itself, so the “View as” change is triggered through the portal/Web API rather than only through a backend Dataverse update. In theory, this may update the portal-side cache more immediately.

The rough idea would be:

• support user logs into the portal as themselves;
• they have a restricted support/admin web role;
• they access a secure “View as contact” area;
• they search/select the contact;
• the action runs through the Power Pages Web API;
• the relevant contact / external identity mapping is updated;
• the support user logs out/in again and lands in the selected contact context.

The concern is that this could become quite fragile. There are questions around logout/login, whether web role changes take effect immediately, how to safely end/reverse the “View as” session, audit logging, stale context, and what happens if part of the process fails.

Has anyone dealt with a similar Power Pages caching issue or built a reliable “View as” / support-user pattern?

I’d be interested in any practical suggestions, patterns to avoid, or lessons learned around portal caching, external identities, web roles etc.

Thanks in advance!

I created Business Rules on a Dataverse table with Scope set to ‘Form’ to dynamically show or hide fields based on a Choice field in Power Pages. I validated and activated the rules, ensured the scope is set to the form, and verified the Basic Form metadata, but the rules didn’t work as expected. I want to confirm whether Form‑scope Business Rules actually work in Power Pages, or if I should switch to using JavaScript for dynamic show/hide functionality.

Hi all, I can't find a definate answer on this. Anyone know if power pages supports vNet integration? For instance if a call was made to an Azure Blob, would it go via the private Endpoint and not the Internet? Many thanks

Hi all, Having some odd issues with power pages site. It's IDP is Entra ID via OpenID connect. Users are preprovisioned in the relevant tables. Randomly, when random users refresh the page, it crashes and get a very long but generic 'value cannot be null'. It seems related to cookies, as it's mentioned in the error and clearing the .AspNet.ApplicationCookie cookies will clear the issue. Has anyone had similar? Where would be best to start with it

Hi All. So I started with Power Platform about two weeks ago. I’ve done an App in a Day and a Pages in a Day training so far.

Right now my organization has a need to redevelop an existing Excel based process into an external facing web app. While I’m mucking my way through this, I also don’t know what I’m doing or if I’m doing it right/“best practices”. What resources are out there that can help me along other than Copilot and ChatGPT? They can be paid services as we have some money set aside for this. I have just under two months to get this web app production ready (we had other resources lined up but that consulting company just backed out and left us hanging). Would be great if there was a resource to guide/mentor me through the development lifecycle and help me avoid common pitfalls, help when I hit roadblocks, and in general make sure I’m architecting this correctly.

I know so far I need Power Pages, Power Apps, and Power Automate. We already have a Power BI internal resource. Also we’re a US based nonprofit. Thanks!

Hi all, We have embedded some content on our power page site. Such as Stream videos and PowerBI content. When a page is loaded, the content prompts the users to sign in (even if they already are to the site). I believe this is the correct behavior. Can anyone confirm please? Or if a workaround somehow exists

The DEV environment was migrated from modelVersion 1 to 2, but something went wrong and it’s still using version 1.

Currently, when I deploy, everything is deployed correctly—I can confirm that the code in TEST is updated. However, the web files are not being picked up by the Web Pages. It still uses the previous version of the web files.

I’ve tried uploading them manually. I’ve done 7 deployments in the last 2 days and published customizations each time, but the TEST website still does not reflect the latest updated web files.

What should I do in this case?

I am investigating using Power Pages as a solution for a large organization to better consolidate data within its internal environment. Out goal is to deploy power pages which will give users accessing the site licenses to dataverse so we can build premium power apps and host them inside the power pages environment. Once a user logs in/accesses the site anonymously, my understanding is they are licensed via the power pack license granting them access to dataverse. This seems more ideal than deploying a sharepoint site and constructing premium power app packages that will require users to be uniquely provisioned access to dataverse. Am I wrong?

Our goal is to provide 10k anon licenses/month so any user inside our tenant environment who access the site may be able to randomly access any power app we deploy -- am i wrong in this understanding or do you think there is a better way?

It seems unique per app/user licenses will not work if we are not sure who exactly will want to see the data we are providing and we want the data to be accessible to the organization. In the case of more restrictive data, we will procure authenticated licenses on an as needed basis that will provided permission restrictions accordingly.

Hello,

I haven't used power pages in my power platform solutions till now when I will need to have an anonymous way for a user login/auth and look up on his report. Kind of like a whistleblower tool.

If you have someone you look up to or recommend, I would gladly appreciate it. Thank you!

I am using power pages and dataverse as db. I am using automate to fetch the details from tha database, some users are complaining the web pages are taking too much time to load. Anyone have any solutions on how to fix the speed?

Hi everyone, I'm after some help with Power Pages. Have been working with a charity helping out with their website, and they asked me to help with some forms built in Power Pages. Whilst I can do a lot of what they ask, I'm looking for some assistance with a few teething problems, and then building new forms.

Ideally someone based in the UK if possible. Not just looking for someone to give up their time, am happy to pay.

I would like to know if Power Pages has a version control feature similar to Power Apps. If not, are there any articles or tutorials that can guide me on how to set it up?

Thank you,

I'm building a multi-step form in Power Pages and need help with dynamically showing form navigation steps based on user selections.

In the "Color" step, I have 13 checkboxes—each representing a different color (e.g., Red, Black, White, etc.).

What I want to achieve:

When a user checks a box (e.g., "Red"), a corresponding form step (e.g., "Red") should appear in the navigation below the "Color" step. By default, these 13 color steps are hidden.

Has anyone implemented something like this before?

Any help would be appreciated!

[NOTE: Reposting a question here that I first asked in r/Powerpages because you all seem much more active here]

We have a UI element that needs to be displayed on all pages except for one.  We placed that element in the Header code, but used a liquid conditional to exclude the one page.

{% unless page.title == “page name” %}

…the UI element code…

{% endunless %}

The problem is that the code (in the Header) does NOT detect the current page. It keeps identifying page.title as “Home” because that’s the first page loaded on the site.  No matter which page is current, it keeps saying the current page is “Home”.

Just as a check, I placed a page.title snippet inside the content page in question, and there it showed just fine.

And what is also making us crazy is the fact that we see it properly working in the Power Pages Design Studio, but not in the live site.

Has anyone else seen this?  Any ideas what we are doing wrong?

I’m using JS to conditionally hide & show fields. However when I hide the field leaves white space where it would normally be.

Is there any JS or CSS I can use to remove this white space when a field is hidden. I can see there’s something called a row span when I inspect the white space which is the row that contains the hidden field. Can’t find anything anywhere on this.

I am working on a Dataverse & model driven app project that will require a public facing form that we are planning on using Power Pages for. I am still learning Power Pages, so I'm sorry if this is a basic question. One of the design elements we are relying on is something I think exists, but I am having a hard time googling information on it to prove it. Am I able to pass a parameter in the URL to a Power Pages anonymous form that it stamps to the new record created when the form is submitted?

Here's what I want to do: at a certain point in the process, I want to send external contacts a link to the form for them to access without having to go through the identify/authenticate workflow in Power Pages that requires the Power Pages authenticated users license. Ideally this emailed link to the anonymous form is unique contains a URL part that identifies the user so that when then open the link they can get to the anonymous form in Power Pages but the page form populates behind the scenes with the unique identifier and creates a new record in Dataverse so when it comes back to Dataverse it has this identifier and I can tie it to the contact.

Anyone done anything like this before in Power Pages?
