If I had a hidden field which is only set by PowerApps, could I prevent everybody else from Updating

Hi

 

If I had a hidden field, which is only set by PowerApps. Could I prevent everybody else from updating that list ?

 

Thanks

    Nigel...turn on content types and then go into the content type and set the field to hidden.  It will now be hidden from any forms and controlled by your Power App

      Hi Steve

       

      Thanks for this.

       

      Is it hidden to everybody including Administrators ?

       

      Thanks

        Hi Nigel...yes it would be hidden for everyone, including administrators.  SharePoint does not provide field level security. 

         

        The workaround is to create a form specific for the Administrators so it can be secured and they can navigate to it.
