office 365 Search user v2 Insufficient privileges

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 3

Hi All,
I'm using office 365 "search user (v2)" connector in my power automate to get user details.
it is working as expected only for internal users. 

my problem here is when an external user triggers the flow. the connector doesn't gives any details.
it shows as "Insufficient privileges to complete the operation" .

please guide me to where I can give this permission for external users to solve my problem.

Thanks

    Hi @kalimuthuA ,

     

    That's the expected behavior, because guests are limited users.

    I think this link will help you a lot:

    Office365 Users Searchuser error Status 403

     

    In addition , if your flow is an instant flow , you could set the guest user to be a 'Run-Only' user and force him to use the connection you providered . This means that the 'Run-Only' user can use the access rights of the specified account to use the 'Search User'
