What happens to Flows, when my Microsoft account gets deleted/deactivated?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by CL-25091313-0
Hello, 
 

I would like to inquire about the status of my Power Automate flows in the event that my Microsoft user account is deleted due to a change in my contract or a change in position requiring a new account. Will my flows still exist, or will they be permanently lost?

 

Furthermore, I would like to know if adding co-owners to my flows ensures that the flows remain active after my account has been deactivated.

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

 

Kind regards,

 

Colin

    The flow should remain under the default solution (if not added to a solution) of the environment.
     
    the bigger issue is the connections if any that are used, if you are saving items from a shared mailbox to a sharepoint site, and it is using your connection it will fail when the user is removed.
     
    I like creating flows under a service account that is not tied to a specific individual.
