RecordInfo function
Applies to: 
Canvas apps
Model-driven apps
Provides information about a record of a data source.
Use RecordInfo to obtain information about a particular record of a data source. The data source must be tabular and compatible with the Remove and Patch functions.
At this time, only Microsoft Dataverse is supported. Records from all other data sources will result in a formula error.
The information available:
| Information argument | Description |
|---|---|
| RecordInfo.DeletePermission | Does the current user have permission to remove this record from the data source? |
| RecordInfo.EditPermission | Does the current user have permission to modify this record in the data source? |
| RecordInfo.ReadPermission | Does the current user have permission to read this record from the data source? |
RecordInfo returns a Boolean value:
| Return value | Description |
|---|---|
| true | The user has the permission. |
| false | The user does not have permission. If the record is blank then RecordInfo will also return false. |
RecordInfo takes into account permissions at the data source level too. For example, if the user has permission at the record level to modify a record, but the user does not have permissions at the table level, then it will return false for ModifyPermission. Use the DataSourceInfo function to obtain information about the data source as a whole.
Syntax
RecordInfo( Record, Information )
- Record – Required. The record to test.
- Information – Required. The desired information for the record.
Examples
RecordInfo( First(Accounts), RecordInfo.EditPermission )
Checks the edit permission for the first record in the Accounts data source, which could be in Dataverse, SharePoint, SQL Server, or another tabular data source. If the user has permission to edit this record and modify the Accounts data source in general, then RecordInfo will return true.
With( { MyRecord: First( Accounts ) },
RecordInfo( MyRecord, RecordInfo.EditPermission ) )
Captures a record using the With function and then passes this value to the RecordInfo function. The result will be the same as the last example.
Collect( MyAccounts, FirstN( Accounts, 10 ) );
RecordInfo( First( MyAccounts ), RecordInfo.EditPermission ) )
Captures the first 10 records from the Accounts data source into the MyAccounts collection. Since the records originated from a data source, they can be used with the RecordInfo function. The result will be the same as the last example.
Collect( MyCollection, [ 1, 2, 3 ] );
RecordInfo( First(MyCollection), RecordInfo.DeletePermission )
Creates the MyCollection collection and tests the first record to determine if it can be removed. Since the record's origin is a collection and not a data source, RecordInfo will return an error.
