Hello. Now that our business is getting value from Power Platform tools, I need to set things up such that the tools continue to operate if I leave the company. I don’t belong to an IT department, and we want to avoid having our IT department host/manage things as much as possible.
Consider the following scenario:
When Microsoft Form response is submitted, a Power Automate flow takes the response to an Excel table on a group’s sharepoint site. The Power Automate flow uses a connection reference to a Microsoft forms connection. This connection uses the credentials of my own O365 account. If I leave the company and my account gets deleted, this connection would break and the Power Automate flow would stop working.
This is my plan to handle this:
If I decide to leave the company, we would onboard a new Power Platform maker for a week while I am still at the company. I would have the new Power Platform maker set up the same connection using their own account and credentials. Then I would change the connection reference in the flow to point to the new Power Platform maker’s newly-made connection. Then I would make the new Power Platform maker a co-owner of the Power Automate flow. After this is complete, I would leave the company and my account would be deleted.
Of course, there is always more that can be done to ensure tool continuity, but assuming that we would for sure go through this process and my O365 account wouldn’t be deleted until after this process is complete… is this process sufficient?
