How to set the profile picture in model driven app

[manishsg]

 Hi,

We have created a model driven app and released to several users.One of the requirements is to show the profile picture.

Is that possible ?. Please let us know how we can achieve that.

Thanks

Hi @manishsg ,

Do you mean show the login user profile picture in the purple navigate bar?

I'm afraid there is no way to achieve your need. Please consider submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas forum if convenience.

Has this been added as a possibility yet? I'm in the same position of wanting to be able to display a users photo based off of the 365 users, but cant seem to do this in a model driven app.

Hi @manishsg 

Hello, the image or profile photo is associated with the M365 account, so each user must be the one to modify it. If the user has added it, it can be viewed in the session.

If it is not blocked by the M365 administrator you can add the photo

Hey,

That's not quite what I mean. All of our users have a profile picture. When I built the CRM tool as a canvas app I could use the O365 Users connector to show profile pictures on the customer data cards; I cant get this same thing to work in a model driven app on the form views.

Ideally I want the primary image to pull from the O365 database, but I just cant find out how to make this work.

Appreciate your support.

Have you tried embedding a small CanvasApp in your ModelApp?

When you say form views, do you mean that you wish to display the image in a column in the views?

Hi @manishsg 

I already understand what you are saying.

Now I'll tell you a possible solution, you should pull Power Automate from the same Office Users connector and from there obtain the image, then you should list all the users with the list row dataverse action (I suggest you use a filter if you have many users ), and once you obtain the user's GUID, there is another dataverse action called upload image, there look for the name of the attribute and that way you would have it

Hey,

Thanks for this - I've just had a quick look at the flow but I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I have 1000 users in my CRM list, would I have to run this flow and update the User UPN 1000 times in order to get each user photo?

Hi @Jen567885 

What the flow does is retrieve the users from your systemusers entity and from there you must look for the photo in the Office 365 profile and then that you have the photo upload it in the last action that shows you.

The flow is only one time that it will be executed, only that it may take a while because it is 1000 records, what I showed you yesterday is one way to do it, but by doing it once all those 1000 will have the photo as long as they have it in the M365 profile

Is this really the only way to get a profile pictured linked to a model driven app? Having to run a flow 1006 times, replacing the GUID for each user every single time feels way more mandraulic than it should be for a Microsoft application?
