So you've developed a PowerApp with SharePoint lists and now you want to hide them ?
Ok so lets start by saying that I know that Obfuscation is not security but sometimes when you are trying to keep things affordable for a client you need to be realistic.

I will do another blog post on the exact details but in summary I use SharePoint lists that have Item level permissions set so that users can only read or edit their own records. I then have a members group with designer permissions so they can read and edit all records.
