Power Automate page approval flow for SharePoint pages with wrong name of publisher

Posted on by DuarteMeneses

Hello everyone,

I have a SharePoint website as my company's knowledge base. Different people may edit different pages, according to their permission levels. I also have a Power Automate flow for page approval, which will send requests for different groups of people, depending on which page changes were made.

Everything working fine, except a "small" detail:

It doesnt matter who made the request or who approved and published the changes, when I go to the page's version history its always me appearing as the publisher.

Is it possible to have the name of the actual approver instead of mine?

Thanks in advance,

Duarte

@DuarteMeneses

Since the page is being published by the Flow, you will always show as the publisher - no way around that since your connection info is being used in the Flow. You may want to add the name of the person who made the changes to the comments.

@ScottShearer, thank you for the fast reply.
I understand your answer because my connections are the following:

If I swap the SharePoint connectors from using my connection to "provided by run-only user", like Approvals or Notifications, I am able to run the flow but it fails for other people. Maybe it is possible if I change some permissions in SharePoint? Here is an example of the error when someone else tried to run the flow:

Thanks,
Duarte
