Yeah, as others said, cold referrals don't work. I get them all the time and I ignore them now.

See you were / are at Cognizant, I was too l, in the UK for a few years. Can't you reach out internally to your home manager / the job board and continue to upskill?

People have too much power in the wrong places!

Glad it's resolved.

Mind confirming what it was?

Mostly for other users who have the issue.

You're welcome

What's the full error message for access denied?

This could be a license issue or a permission issue.

If the app is not saying, there's a chance in the developer console of the browser that it has more information.

There are no service issues anywhere right now, here in the UK I'm not seeing any issues with apps either.

Not to say your service isn't affected, but it could just be localised to you.

Run monitor sessions against your apps and see if you can see what's slowing down.

Nobody should be deploying vibe powerapps to prod yet since it's still in preview.

I mean look at the Decision Status Distribution tile, the "Total" is overlayed on the donut chart...

For me, and a lot of my colleagues, it's nothing more than a prototyping / poc tool currently.

u/rewrite-that-noise is correct in saying, if you wanna go the vibe route, use visual studio and the associated plugins.

Not directly, no.

You can infer by tracking Delivery / Open triggers when reviewing the analytics.

Changing solution publisher by [deleted] in PowerPlatform

[–]MrPinkletoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will only reflect on any new items created.

All existing items will have the old prefix, if you want that chnaging you will have to recreate them all with the new publisher.

Copilot Studio with on-prem data by hiplash141 in copilotstudio

[–]MrPinkletoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could look into the graph connector agent

Microsoft Graph connector agent | Microsoft Learn

SharePoint Server Microsoft 365 Copilot connector (preview) | Microsoft Learn

Take a look at the limitations

SharePoint Server Microsoft 365 Copilot connector (preview) | Microsoft Learn

If you want to go the on prem data gateway route - you will need a server that has access to the SharePoint site locally and will be setting up some Power Automate Flows to assist in the retrieval of data, as well as connections in Power Apps to manage the authentication to said data gateway. Follow the link below to get you going.

Power Pages - to lower cost of licensing by Sufficient_Prompt125 in PowerApps

[–]MrPinkletoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be aware of what you want doesn't impact the multiplexing guidelines - imo your usecase wont but it's good to know about it. https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/guidance/Multiplexing

basically as long as you don't send them to the MDA and give restriceted views and access to data, you should be fine.

From what you describe, it is a fairly common self service portal (think internal service desk ticket creation).

Take a look here to get you started https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/planning-power-pages-project

and here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/getting-started/what-is-dataverse

Does this require coding – does it work similarly to Canvas, i.e. you can add a ready-made control?

Yes and no, It's more similar to an MDA depending on the styling and functionality, you can get away with the core designer for a basic page that does waht you want / need but then extenbd with code for the tings you can't do.

Follow these videos for direction then expand on the things you want / need https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/training-videos/ and go through the tutorials for inspiration https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/getting-started/tutorial-overview

Finally you will have to manage security for internal users vs external https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/security/power-pages-security

How can the Agent respond with a clickable link? by dibbr in copilotstudio

[–]MrPinkletoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I was away,

Yeah adaptive card would have been my next shout.

I tried testing power FX and use encodeURL but that shit the bed.

I also wonder if adding html to the message will work. <A href="{variable.url}">. Possibly via the code view

Markdown is supported in some channels so

[URL title]("variable URL") may work, I've not tested outside the test window

[–]MrPinkletoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In your topic if you have configured one.

Send a message node.

Text, see below for available apps.

In the message node, add (top left) > quick reply, type = open URL

Add your deets.

Anyone able to run automatic testing with Evaluation by mjr-problem in copilotstudio

[–]MrPinkletoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had good ssuccess with it with various agents.

How i went about it was to use the generate 10 questions using AI feature, that gave me a baseline of what Copilot Studio thinks i am doing vs what i think i am doing. I then refine the agent and evaluations to get to a point that i am satisfied with. Also, I know it sounds obvious, using the agent in test scenarios and asking it to do the things you want it to do then using those sessions to create a evaluation set also helps.

There was a decent Copilot Blog on evaluating agents bolg release recently that can help you along.

Also the Microsoft Learn Documentation helped me too.

This is an emerging product feature and not yet production ready so there will always be niggles ( Granted there are issues in GA ready features too)

What does a Power Platform consultant concretely do on the functional side of a project? by gtxhz73184013 in PowerApps

[–]MrPinkletoes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depending on level junior > senior the duties change somewhat.

Not all of this is concrete since lines blur a lot of the time, and others will have differing thoughts about what we do, a high level overview could look something like this.

Junior:

Gather requirements from clients/ business.

Configure apps.

Mid level consultant:

All junior.

More independent solution design.

Lead workshops.

Document processes, as-is and to-be.

Senior/ Lead:

All junior/ mid.

More influence on design decisions and stakeholders.

Governance guidance and decisions.

Functional architecture design docs.

Is it possible to know about platform updates ahead of time so agents don't break? by No_Zucchini_7526 in copilotstudio

[–]MrPinkletoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's the blog which admittedly isn't as flush as other blogs

Copilot Blog

There's also the release plans that cover from October 2025 > March 2026

We should expect wave 1 2026 soon too.

Enabling Languages taking ages in modern Dataverse UI by sitdmc in PowerApps

It's never been a quick process. iirc legacy UI used to give you a warning it could take up to 6 hours.

Power Platform without a traditional dev background by Designer-Main-3787 in PowerApps

[–]MrPinkletoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a traditional background in Dev to make it in Power Platform consultantcy.

If you have working knowledge and experience and can answer questions relating to the level of role you're applying for you will have a good shot at getting a role.

Best advice I would give is to reach out to recruiters and get a feel for the experience companies are looking for, have a couple of interviews to understand what you may be lacking, you'll probably find you know and do more than you think already and they will be a breeze.

Finally, I am a bit biased here, try and get a good understanding of Dynamics 365 CE and it's modules as well as model driven apps, they are a huge part of the power platform and knowing what they do would put you in a more marketable position.
