Desktop Flow Connections - Share with Service Principal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DylanRay

Is there anyway currently to share a desktop flow connection with a service principal(An App Registration to be specific)? The problem I'm currently having is that I'm trying to call the Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.RunDesktopFlow API but whenever I call it I just get the response 

"User with object identifier 'X' does not have access to the connection 'X' for the Desktop Flows connector." With some connection types there's an option to share but desktop flow connections doesn't seem to have the share option.

    Nope, it isn't available at this time at least. Desktop flows are run on user/service accounts only.
