Getting the following error when trying to build a simple flow so that when I or the other owners of the flow make an item in a SharePoint List the flow will send out a simple email to the rest of the team. Right now, I am the inital owner of the flow and I have added the others as owners to the flow as well.

    Hi @PonziPlays ,

     

    Let's say the action 'Send email' is using your connection and the user A created a new item in sp list and fired the flow.

    If you want to send mail on behalf of User A, modify the permission in the m365 admin center:
