Set-AdminPowerAppOwner returns error

[the_colbs]

Hello PowerApps Community,

Through the great levels of assistance from this community, I"ve got some apps working and we are ready to deploy them. Because of the nature of these applications, they need to be owned by a service account instead of an individual user account. This is an audit requirement for our facility. I've tried using the below cmdlet but it returned an error. 

Set-AdminPowerAppOwner -AppName %name% -EnvironmentName %name% -AppOwner -%name% 

The error is:

Code : NotFound
Description : Not Found
Error : Errors :
Internal : System.Net.HttpWebResponse

 I think this may have something to do with what it considers to be an Admin app but I'm unclear on this technicality. Has anyone seen this error or know of any troubleshooting guides?

FYI - I checked all the UIDs and they are correct. No Runtime errors, just a blank response from the server.

There are a couple of possibilites

1) You need to be a Global Admin or AAD Admin in the tenant to run the "Admin" commands.  Are you a global admin?

2) Are you supplying the GUIDS for the Appname, Environment, and AppOwner?  The examples all show guids, rather than just names.

@Pstork1 

I am supplying the GUIDs but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a global admin thing. I'm actually not in IT in our organization so I'll reach out to them and see if they can try it.

I'll keep you updated.

Yes, if you aren't a Global admin then you won't be able to run that command.  If you were a global admin you would know that you were an admin, so I doubt you are.

Hi @the_colbs ,

For more detailed information, please refer to:

https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/gdpr-admin-powershell-cmdlets/

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/powerapps-powershell

To perform the administration operations in the admin cmdlets, you'll need the following:

• Office 365 Global admins or Azure Active Directory Global admins no longer require a P2 license for administrative access to the PowerApps admin PowerShell cmdlets. However, these administrators need to sign in to the PowerApps Admin Center at least once before using the PowerShell cmdlets. If this is not done, the cmdlets will fail with an authorization error.

• Office 365 Global Administrator or Azure Active Directory Global Administrator permissions if you need to search through another user’s resources. (Note that Environment Admins only have access to those environments and environment resources for which they have permissions.)

Regards,

Mona
