My First Power Pages Site Lessons Learned | Deep Overview 

Great 👏. No one else talks about the essential need of the function Extranet like this chanal. Thank you 🙏

You found the door to the basement, but yeah - it's a confusing mess in there. You can customize the site a *lot* - but there's a steep learning curve (one I'm still on, but I've worked with people who were further along, and together we made some cool stuff - even before MS slapped the Power Pages front end on it). Keep up the good work!

I know how it feels to be in the Power Apps Dataverse. We had M&O to support a complex Dynamics/Power Apps management system built by Microsoft turned over to us when their contract ended. The next thing I knew I was changing snippets in the Dev environment. I'm not sure what I did, but right afterwards Russia invaded Ukraine. Then the licensing, don't even ask me (or Microsoft) about it!

Thank you for sharing. Power pages is a game changer for a novice like me. I was able to create a client portal in a few days. I tried to achieve this through SharePoint sites but it got messy and very time consuming.

Excellent vid! I tried Power Pages. Not a fan. I find it even more restrictive in capabilities than SP Modern. MS seems to continue pushing the agenda of less capabilities for end-users to alleviate more support from their end. I didn’t find in Power Pages where MS finally cleaned up how users can or cannot edit pages regardless of how well you tighten up security groups. Corporate Marketing units want serious customizations. We spent more time finding work arounds in Modern for that, than we have in flat, blank pages. Years of doing this, I’m still not a fan of being “boxed” into web builds. But then again… just my opinion.. So, no flaming please! :-) Thank you again DeShon for another great vid. Look forward to the next one!

Thanks for the run-down DeShon. I find it unusual that products like these are promoted as no-code or low-code implying that anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of programming can do it. Clearly the tool extends far beyond just a WYSIWYG page designer/functional generator to enabling/demanding tenancy admin activities. That's something that would never be granted to me despite working in IT for more than thirty years (and to be honest I don't want it). You've convinced me to abandon this path for a user demand and take another path to achieve it. Given the amount of mucking around and politicking that would have ensued I dodged a bullet there - thanks again.

Not what I was expected but what I needed

So, my take-away, please correct me if I missed something, is have external users register using their email (do not use tokens from social media sites).

Tried Power Pages for use case of B2B and B2C. We expect the experience of Power Pages will be same as Canvas app of Power Apps but unfortunately it is not. Portal Management is model driven based. Power Pages Studio is a SharePoint based. Everything is very difficult to customize and config.

Why does powerpages theme die on preview

Greetings, I really enjoy your insight, your delivery and most importantly I learn from your content. I have a question regarding Power Pages. In a potential use case there could be as many 20,000 a anonymous users. I would be asking the Users to upload photo document and populate forms. Is this a viable use for this platform or, should I seek something more robust?
