Question

How to remove((or hide from view) standard apps(like Power Apps, Power Automate) listed in app launcher globally for all accounts in the tenant without cancelling user licenses for Power Apps / Power Automate services/ products.

I have seen multiple articles on how to add them but nothing for the standard apps and how to remove / hide them either using global settings or any custom script logic for all M365 products like in SharePoint Online, Teams, Onedrive etc.

Hi,

Unfortunatelly according to the link you can't delete MS apps.

• For Microsoft applications, you won't be able to delete them from the UI regardless of your role.

Hi @VARANASI, PRADEEP ,

Welcome to Q&A forum!

According to my research and testing, as @Aleksandr Kolesnikov said, there is currently no way to make it.

But there is a workaround for your reference:

Use conditional Access to block user access to these apps via policy.

This is my testing process:

1. Go to Microsoft Entra admin center, open the cascading menu of Protection in the left panel and select Conditional Access.
2. Then click Create new policy to create a new policy.

• In the Name section, enter a policy name.
• In the Users section, select the users to which the policy applies. Here I select a user, and you can select users based on your situation.

• In the Target resources section, select PowerApps Service, which will block access to both Power Apps and Power Automate.

• In the Access controls section, select Block access.
• Finally, switch Enable Policy to On and click Create.

3. Wait a few minutes for the Policy to take effect. At that time, although users can see Power apps and Power Automate, they will not have permission to log in and use them.

If you still want to use scripts to implement it, it is recommended that you go to the Partner Center to seek customized support.

Have a nice day!

Not sure if it will be helpfull, but you can try to use App launchers from entra portal.

Hide Microsoft 365 applications from the My Apps portal

Create collections on the My Apps portal

Collections enable you to customize your end users' portals. Collections are groupings of applications assigned to users and groups that enable them to find the applications they need quicker and easier.

App launchers make it easy and convenient for users in an organization to launch their apps by providing a set of app tiles. Users can select an app tile to go to that app. These settings allow you to customize your users' app launchers such as the My Apps portal.

But, you still can't remove All apps collection, but at least create another one and move it to higher priority.

Best regards,

Aleksandr
