Error editing existing logic flows

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
All,
I've inherited a problematic PowerApp which uses Logic Flows to acquire data from Azure SQL stored procedures. The data is returned to a variable in the app and subsequently loaded to a collection for display. When I attempt to view the flow, I get the following error:
 
"The caller object id is 'c8e4a4a0-7b28-4dfe-b83c-7418af522109'. Connection 'ab3e1e48-7aeb-4662-92f9-d34db0888060' to 'shared_logicflows' cannot be used to activate this flow, either because this is not a valid connection or because it is not a connection you have access permission for. Either replace the connection with a valid connection you can access or have the connection owner activate the flow, so the connection is shared with you in the context of this flow.
code: ConnectionAuthorizationFailed
 
How do I investigate this connection and "repair" the flow. As far as I can tell, there are only 2 connections in the App - 1 to Azure SQL and the other to SharePoint (which I don't think is used in this flow). There doesn't seem to be a way to validate the existing SQL connector - I can create a new one, but then how do I use the new one in the existing flows?
 
Thanks!

    Hi
     
    You have to make sure that the Flow itself is properly shared to YOU, and that all the Connections being used are also shared properly.
     
    But right now you don't have permission to activate it due to that connection.
     
    And you may need to create another.
     
    Here is how you do that. (And really you should be using Connection references, not connections.
     
    Anyway
    Open the Flow
    Go to the Action that has a Connection associated (for instance your SQL One)
    Click on the ... on the Header of that action
    Near the bottom in the popup, it will tell you what connection OR connection reference it is using
    It will also have an option to create a new connection. Thats' how you would replace it.
     
    another option is to create the Connections and Connection References BEFORE you click the ...
    If you make them and already have the flow opened, once you create them do a CTRL F5 first before trying to change the flow
    Then do the same thing. Click the ... on the header, but NOW it will show your new connection/or reference and you can simply select it.
