Question details
Users are encountering a specific permission error when attempting to connect the Resource Scheduling app to Project for the web.
- Product
- Power Apps / Project for the web
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Connecting the Resource Scheduling Power App to Project for the web to manage project resources.
- Observed behavior
- The system throws a permission error for 'prvCreateMsdyn_resourcerequirementdetail', preventing the successful connection and usage of the scheduling tool.
You must have Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Power Apps administrator privileges to modify security roles and grant the required entity permissions.
Grant Entity Permissions via Power Apps Admin Center
Update the security roles in the Power Apps admin center to include the Resource Requirement Detail custom entity.
This error occurs because the user's assigned role lacks the necessary 'Create' privileges for the resource requirement detail entity. An administrator must explicitly grant this access.
Log into the Microsoft Power Platform admin center using an administrator account.
Navigate to the 'Environments' tab and select the specific environment where the Resource Scheduling app is hosted.
Go to 'Settings', expand 'Users + permissions', click on 'Security roles', and locate the role currently assigned to the affected user.
Search for the 'Resource Requirement Detail' custom entity and grant the required create permissions (prvCreateMsdyn_resourcerequirementdetail) to the role.
Instruct the user to sign out of the Power App, sign back in, and test the connection to Project for the web to confirm the issue is resolved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the prvCreateMsdyn_resourcerequirementdetail error mean?
It indicates that the user's assigned security role in Power Apps lacks the 'Create' privilege for the 'Resource Requirement Detail' entity, which is strictly required for the Resource Scheduling module to function.
Do I need administrator rights to fix this permission error?
Yes, modifying security roles and granting custom entity permissions in the Power Apps admin center requires active Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Power Apps administrator privileges.
Why does Resource Scheduling need this specific entity permission?
When connecting to Project for the web, the application needs to automatically create requirement detail records in the database to properly allocate and track resources across different project timelines.
