Are Embedded connection equivalent to "Acting as" for owners ?

Posted on by Guillaume_Ki

Hi.

I have a PowerApps-triggered Flow with :

- an Embedded connection to SharePoint

- an Http Request to SPO API's action

The flow runs smoothly when I use the account from the connection but not from the other owner account i get a 502 error.

I though the connexion was shared between them but it does not seems to grant access to specific ressources though.

Is it suppose to acte this way ?

hi @Guillaume_Ki 500 error is a bad response from your servide API, so please try to do test with your api first with a program like Postman

@Guillaume_Ki The Error code is 502 - Bad Gateway,

I assume you getting an error when you do Http Request to SPO API's action. Is my assumption right?

If it is correct, The bad gateway error happens when you try to push invalid data into a SharePoint list item or document. So before you send the data, you need to make sure that your data is valid\correct. Log the data to the compose action and verify it before you send it to SharePoint.

Hi,

Thanks you for your answers.

The thing is the flow works when i use the owner/creator of the flow, because he has acces to the list, but not the other owner (the one i shared the flow with) because he does not have access on the list.

I though that shared connexion inside a flow meant that users will use the owner connexion (access and rights).

Regards,
Guillaume.

Not all connections can be shared to other users. SharePoint connector require an OAuth connection, which cannot be shared. Connections for most of API Key based connectors e.g. Azure Table Storage are share-able.

Hi @Guillaume_Ki , you will need to explicitly give permissions to the SharePoint resource to the other user, so that they can use the shared Flow using their credentials.
