add co-owners without risking privacy through connectors

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 15

I just got access to Power Automate and now that my team has a solution with a few flows in place to enable our tools, there is a concern of flow ownership and what happens if I (the flow owner) were to leave.

I’ve looked into adding other users on my team and even the group as co-owners, but I’m concerned about privacy as the connectors are all linked to my account.

How can I use the sharepoint, office 365 users, and outlook connectors without them being attached to my personal account?

    The correct long-term solution is:
    • Create a dedicated service/automation account
    • Rebuild connector connections using that account
    • Use connection references inside solutions
    • Add team members as co-owners
    • Avoid personal-account-based production flows
    This is the standard enterprise approach and prevents flow failures when employees leave or accounts change.
