Deploy SPFX web part to only one Site Collection


Most of the time, when you deploy a custom web part that you made or a third party one, it becomes available for any user of your SharePoint. This means collaborator can edit a page and install the custom web part into it then every user with access to your site can use it. There is a centralize place where administrator can deploy those applications and give access to them. This place is called Tenant App catalog. Basically, this is a site collection that has been designed to host web parts and related resources.

Tenant App Catalog

However, you may want to deploy your custom application only to a specific site collection. Instead of using the Tenant Catalog Site, you will need to create a Site Collection App Catalog in the site collection of your choice. To do so, you will need to run the following PowerShell command:

Add-SPOSiteCollectionAppCatalog



Then deploy your App like you would in the App Tenant Catalog. 

Keep in mind  

  • This does not prevent your app to query other site collection.
  • There is no dashboard or report to monitor Site Collection App Catalogs, so you need to track them by yourself. 
  • Assets files will be stored in the site collection where the web part is deployed.

Guest user can't access Client Side Assets resources in SharePoint App Catalog site

Image
When using third party web part or custom web part, there is a property named includeClientSideAssets that push resources to Client Site Assets library of the SharePoint App catalog site. Anytime a user is using one of those web parts, he will retrieve resources from this centralized area. This Client site assets library is hidden and is at least read-only for every member of your organization but it is not accessible to external user. As consequence external users are getting errors like below. [SPLoaderError.loadComponentError]: Failed to load component "544c1372-42df-47c3-94d6-017428cd2baf" (pnpSearchResultsWebPart).

Use Admin consent in Power Apps application

Image
P ower Apps applications are based on graphical components (buttons, text boxes, images, etc.) and connectors (access data from external tools). Those connectors are very easy to set up and use current user data access. When a user accesses a Power Apps application for first time, he gets a popup requesting him to consent. In fact, users must allow the application to do some actions on their behalf, example: post a message on Yammer, retrieve information from a SharePoint list, etc. It can be annoying to display this popup to everyone the first time they use the app. You may use admin consent to offer a seamless experience and prevent this modal to be displayed.  Prerequisites To do this, you must be able to grant consent as Administrator which means you must have one of those roles: Global Administrator, Privileged Role Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, or Application Administrator. You will use some PowerShell commands with power apps module. To install Power App Po
