How to run an automated Power Automate flow for users without sharing it?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,
I have an automated flow in Power Automate, but I want it to be triggered for users in my organization without explicitly sharing it with them. I know that the 'Run as user' option is only available for instant flows, but I need a way to execute the automated flow on behalf of other users.

Is there a method or workaround to achieve this without sharing the flow itself?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    What trigger are you using in the flow? If the trigger is when a new item is created in a SharePoint list, you don't need to share the flow explicitly with users. Automated flows triggered by events like item creation in SharePoint typically run under the credentials of the flow owner and don't require sharing. However, if your flow involves actions that need to be performed on behalf of other users, you might need to consider alternative approaches, such as using service accounts or creating a shared mailbox. Could you provide more details about the specific actions your flow performs?
