Fix a problem
2The error or symptom in front of you, and the fix.Power Pages
Build your first Power Pages site on Dataverse
Create a Power Pages site that lists, creates and updates Dataverse records for signed-in visitors, with security set up properly from the first page instead of bolted on before launch.
Power Pages
Invite users to a Power Pages site: invitation codes, emails and fixes
Let only the people you choose sign up. Create single or group invitations that assign web roles on redemption, send them, make the site invitation-only so nobody can bypass the code, and fix the usual problems: no email, wrong address, 'email already in use'.
Choose a tool
