Is a Service Account for Power Automate needed ?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 41

I'm new to Power Automate - created my first flow that works the way I want it to.  I'd like it to run without any user involvement

 

1. Does it need a licensed account?  I'd prefer it not be my account, as other IT departments will need to access/view it for support reasons if ever needed.

2.  Can I create a service account and apply a license to it and use that to create the flow?

3.  How often do I need to 'authenticate' that account to the power automate flow?

 

Basically - can I 'set it and forget it' and if so - how long will that last until something says 'hey, its not working anymore, you need to come and do a thing to get me back online'

 

Thanks in advance -
