  6. Paste the app URL in a location so that your users can access it, such as by posting it on a SharePoint site or send via email.

To play the app, enter the URL in a web browser.

Authentication prompts while running a model-driven app

You may notice authentication prompts during your model-driven app session. These prompts are expected and are required for certain features. Below highlights a list of features that trigger these prompts. This list is subject to change as new features are released:

Additionally, some organizational or browser settings may increase the frequency of these prompts. We recommend reviewing your settings to help reduce authentication prompts during sessions.

  • Third party cookies blocked in browser. This will cause an authentication prompt to trigger each time you open a model-driven app. Note that opening the app in incognito mode or in the Safari web browser via ITP settings will usually block third-party cookies by default. Enable third party cookies to reduce these prompts.
  • Microsoft Entra conditional access or multi-factor authentication policies. Policies specifically on Power Apps or Microsoft Graph will trigger additional authentication prompts. Contact your admin to review your organization's conditional access or MFA policies.

Run an app on a tablet or phone

Use the app URL described in the earlier section to run a model-driven app on a tablet's web browser. For phones, users download the Power Apps mobile app from the relevant app store. Then, sign into the app, and select the specific app. More information: Get started with Power Apps mobile
