Hi,
I have a question regarding who Power Automate considers the "Runner" of a Flow.
For example, I have two Flows, A and B.
A is connected to a Power App and is triggered when a button on the App is clicked. Variables are passed to the Flow_A.Run() function and the information in these variables is used to add an Item to a SharePoint List.
B is triggered when an email is received. This email address is used for only one function within an organization. After being triggered, the flow will use the Office 365 Users action to gather information about the individual that sent the email as well as their manager. This information is then used to add an Item to a SharePoint List.
Both Flows are created by me.
In Flow A, the "Runner" seems to be the individual that has used the App and clicked the button. They are required to be given permissions to add an Item to the SharePoint List or the Flow will fail.
In Flow B, the "Runner" seems to be me. Eventhough, the Flow is only triggered when another user sends an email to the specified mailbox, and it's their information being gathered and used to add an Item to a SharePoint they are not required to be given permissions to add an item to the SharePoint List.
What is the reason(s) for this difference?
