Do I need to have Azure AD when uploading file to sharepoint using Power Automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by stevenChoice 3

Hi Everyone,

 

I am new to Power Automate and was wondering if when uploading/downloading files to the SharePoint and checking if files exist in the SharePoint using Power Automate do I need to have Azure account? 

 

What I mean to say is that by experience when using C# code and using modern auth, normally I had to have a secret key, application ID and tenant ID. Is this the case with Power Automate or is it straightforward as long as I have O365 account?

 

Cheers,

    You don't necessarily need to have a Service Principal (also known as App Registration) configured to use Power Automate. Both the Power Automate owner and Power Automate connections can leverage standard Azure AD user accounts (or as you call O365 accounts), provided they are appropriately licensed and have the required access.

    If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.
