Trying to build Implicit Connector for Excel

Hello guys, I have created a flow that gets triggered from power apps and adds a row in excel sheet table. Now I have consumed this flow in the power apps canvas app, shared the application with the other user. I did not share the flow with the other user and even without sharing the flow the other user is able to trigger the flow from the canvas app but not able to store the data because I have not shared the underlying excel sheet and the error on the flow is something like this -

 Now, I don't want to share the underlying datasource which is excel but want the user to perform actions when the flow is triggered. Is it possible? What am i doing wrong?

    Any flow that is triggered by a Power App must be capable of being shared (including the underlying data source) with all users. In your case, yes all users must have the Excel sheet shared with them for your flow to work correctly.

     

    The kinds of flows that do not require sharing of the underlying data source are ones that are triggered in ways other than by a Power App. Those flows run under the context of the app creator.

    In your case, I don't see how you are going to get around sharing the Excel file (or some other data source) with your users. If you are concerned about privacy/security, perhaps Dataverse or SQL with row-level security is what you are after?

    Hope that helps,
