Hello All,

 

I am new to Power Platform. I have created a flow/Power Automate. it was created using my account. Now, If I leave my origination my account will be no more valid. so, the flow also will get effected. what is the right way to create a flow? do I need to use a kind of service account? please let me know.

    Hi @Shiva 

     

    It's an excelent question. I would advise creating your Power Automates in solutions where they are organized and available to everyone. Don't forget to make other users as Owners so that they can have access to it.

     

    One issue is that if you leave the company, the connectors associated with your account will stop working. One of the other owners will have to edit and re-set the connectors.

     

    Using a service account is a good idea but it can break some sort of licensing. Probably someone from Microsoft can chime in here.

     

    If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved.
    If you like my response, please give it a Thumbs Up.

    Cheers

    Hey @manuelstgomes thanks for your reply.

     

    On my flow I added some of my team members as co-owners. How ever there is a chance one and all could leave organization at the same time.

     

    I am looking for a full proof solution.

     

    Thanks,

    Shiva
