Cannot use Power Automate for admin connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 28

I am trying to use the connector to get a list of Flows as admin but when I attempt to select an environment I get the error:-

 

Could not retrieve values the dynamic invocation failed with error: authentication failed.

 

If I try to add a manual value and paste the environment id in there then at runtime it fails with Authentication failed.

 

Anyone got these to work?

    Hi @PlanetWilson ,

     

    This action would require the administrator permission and you need to has this permission for access the action.

     

    Best regards,

    • What you might want to try is to go to Data --> Connection --> New Connection.
    • Add the connection First and then use it your Flow.
