Starting Flows - Automate Option Disappears when List Item selected

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Maria_Alexandra 4

Hello there,

 

When one of the users selects a List Item from the SharePoint list,  the Automate menu at the top disappears.   Other users can see the Automate->flow name on the menu (instant flow).  What could be the reason for this behavior?     Any idea how to resolve this would be appreciated

 

Other uses can see the flow:

The user see this (the Automate flow disapper)

    Hi @Maria_Alexandra,

     

    Is the user who couldn't see the power automate is the owner of Power Automate?

    And he has permission to edit these items?

    If no, please make sure he has the same configuration wither other users.

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi,

    No the user is not the owner and  I checked the configuration to ensure that it matches the other user.   It turned out that the browser issue.  Thanks for responding
