There is no good way to do that.  The closest you can get is 

 

- use a PowerApps visual to capture user input and write it to the data source

- access your data source in direct query mode so you can display the captured data in the UI  again

- have PowerApps Premium licenses for all users

thanks i will give that a try...appreciate the suggesstion!
