To restrict users from editing a certain row in a gallery based on their role, you can use the following approach:

Assign roles to users: Set up a system where each user has a specific role associated with their account. This role could be stored in a database or any other storage mechanism.

Retrieve the user's role: When a user logs in to your app, retrieve their role information and store it in a variable or context.

Use role-based conditional logic: In your gallery, add an Edit button/icon for each row. On the button's OnSelect property, write logic to check the user's role against the role required to edit that specific row. If the user's role matches the required role, navigate to the edit form. Otherwise, show a message or disable the button to indicate that the user doesn't have permission to edit.

Here's an example of how the OnSelect property of the Edit button could look like:

PowerApps code If(UserRole = "Admin" || ThisItem.CreatedBy = User().FullName, Navigate(EditForm, Fade))

In the above example, UserRole represents the role of the user, and ThisItem.CreatedBy represents the name of the user who created the row. The condition checks if the user's role is "Admin" or if the current user's name matches the name of the user who created the row. If the condition is true, it navigates to the edit form.

Make sure to adjust the role and user name comparisons according to your specific implementation.

By implementing this approach, only users with the appropriate role or the user who created the row will be able to edit it, while others will be restricted.
