Use core components

These components provide the core to get started setting up a Center of Excellence (CoE). The components sync all your resources into tables and build admin apps on top of them to help you get more visibility of the apps, flows, and makers in your environment. Apps like Manage Permissions help with daily admin tasks. The core components solution contains assets relevant only to admins. For more information, see Set up core components and Watch how to use the core components solution.

App Catalog > Request Access	Instant	From the App Catalog	This flow sends an access request approval to the maker.

Other Apps

App Catalog

An app gives visibility to some apps in the organization. Admins can choose which apps to highlight in the app catalog if the app meets admin requirements and is meant to be shared broadly.

When you first open the app catalog, you don't see any apps there. There's a field on the Power Apps App table called In App Catalog, which is a two-option set type field (Boolean). If the value is set to Yes, the app shows up in the catalog. To publish an app to the app catalog, follow the app auditing process in the Power Platform Admin View app.

Permission: As soon as you use this process, you can share the app catalog with the entire organization.

Prerequisite: This app uses Dataverse. If you installed this solution in a production environment, end-users need to have a Per User license, or the app needs to be assigned a Per App license, or the environment needs to be covered by pay-as-you-go.
