Power Apps: Sign In and Allow App Connections
Power Apps: Sign In and Allow App Connections
Blue Ridge forms and apps built using Microsoft 365 may require permission to connect to other services or data sources.
When opening one of these apps for the first time, or after changing your password, you may be prompted to sign in to or allow one or more connections.
This is normal and does not need to be completed every time you use the app.
Allow App Connections
After opening the form or app, you may see an Almost there window showing the connections required by the app.
- Review the connections listed on the screen.
- If the Allow button is enabled, select Allow.
- If the Allow button is disabled, look for a connection that requires you to sign in or fix the connection.
- Select Fix Connection or Sign In for the connection requiring attention.
- Sign in using your Blue Ridge account.
- If the Allow button is still disabled, scroll through the connection list and verify that all required connections have been signed in.
- Once all connections are active, select Allow.
The form or app should then open normally.
Additional Connection Prompts
Some apps use connections to services outside of Microsoft 365 and may require an additional authorization step.
- Adobe Sign: If prompted to select an Adobe Sign user type, select Adobe Sign User.
- Gmail: If prompted to select a Google account, select your primary @blueridge.edu account and then select Allow when prompted.
These prompts authorize the Microsoft 365 app to use the required service on your behalf.
After a Password Change
You may be prompted to sign in to your app connections again after changing your Blue Ridge password.
If an app that previously worked begins displaying connection or sign-in prompts after a password change, follow the steps above to reconnect the required services.
Need Help?
If you are unable to sign in to a connection or the Allow button remains unavailable after completing these steps, contact the Help Desk at 828-694-1895 or helpdesk@blueridge.edu.
