Question
You are configuring a new Power Apps portal. You have two web roles, one for authenticated users and one for anonymous users. You grant the Anonymous
Users role to users.
A test user reports that they can access the home page but cannot view a page linked from the home page.
You need to determine why the test user cannot view the portal page.
What is the cause of the issue?
- A. The setting to make the page available to everyone is disabled. Correct
- B. Inherited permissions are not enabled for the linked page.
- C. The Authenticated Users Web role does not have permission to view the page.
- D. Maintenance mode is enabled on the portal.
Explanation
The home page is public, so the test user (an anonymous visitor) can open it. In Power Pages, each page has an 'Anyone can see this page' (available to everyone) permission setting. When it is turned off for the linked page, that page is restricted to selected web roles and shows a lock icon, so anonymous visitors cannot view it. Inheritance is not the cause: a child page of a public parent is public by default, and the 'Inherit permissions from a parent page' option only applies when the parent itself is restricted. The Authenticated Users role does not apply to an anonymous visitor, and maintenance mode would block the home page as well.
