Managed solution - Flows are still editable in PAD

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by SPCloudguy 115

Hi,

 

I'm concerned ALM is not possible with PAD flows.

 

I have a managed solution containing a flow that does not allow customisations, that looks correct in that the edit option is greyed out within the solution.

However from PAD I can rename and edit the flow. The name change and modified date is even reflected in the solution.

 

Is this expected behaviour?

    Was/is "Allow customizations" disabled on this desktop flow? (Managed properties)

    What are the PAD user's permissions to the environment which contains the solution?

    In my first test I was importing into my community plan environment, so I'd have been a system administrator.

     

    I've just tried importing a solution into our default environment where I won't have any admin rights and still I can edit and rename the flow from PAD - I definitely have customisations disabled in managed properties.
