Approval - Permissions Error - But only happens to the users like 10% of the time

Hello,

We have two people (at this stage) entering reimbursements into a power app.  We do not use the dataverse.  We keep getting this failure like 1/10 entries that says ''XrmApprovalsGeneralPermissionsError'.  Is anyone else running into this annoyance?  No idea how to fix or even workarounds. As soon as you retry the failure it works. Makes no sense. Full error below.

 

Thanks,

    I see this behavior too. Maybe 1 in 200 approvals fails with this error. After resubmitting it runs without problems, so it's definitely not a permission problem. I'm really fed up with  this shit. This makes the whole process unreliable and not usable in production. Worst part is that you can search for this error and find multiple posts about it but no acknowledgement from Microsoft. Small indie company.

    I see this behaviour, too. After resubmitting the flow it runs normally. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

    It appears to be a bug that Microsoft is currently looking into.  I'll reply whenever they provide a solution.

    Same issue here. Sometimes when the user approves, the flow gets the same error, but most of the time everything seems to work. After resubmitting the flow everything seems to be alright. Very annoying

    aprovals are always stored in a datavers table.

    the approvers must have the Approval Administrator role

    Re-up. Someone else has to be experiencing these issues.
