0x80048306 ReadAccess error on Dataverse Process (Workflow) from Power Automate

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 516 Moderator

Hi everyone,

I'm posting this in the Power Apps forum because the error surfaces when the flow is triggered from a Power Apps app. Even though the failure comes from Power Automate, the issue only becomes visible when the flow is called from the app.

If this is not the most appropriate subforum, please feel free to move the thread or let me know and I can repost it in a more suitable place.

I'm running into a permission issue in Dataverse when a Power Automate flow interacts with the Process (Workflow) table, and I'm trying to understand if something has recently changed in Microsoft’s security model.

The flow fails with this error:

{"error":{"code":"0x80048306","message":"user with id <USER_GUID> does not have ReadAccess right(s) for record with id <PROCESS_GUID> of entity Process."}}

What makes this interesting is that this is the second time I've seen this exact issue in two completely different tenants/clients, both involving the workflow/process table.

 

What I'm trying to understand:

  1. Has Microsoft changed anything recently regarding permissions or access to the Process (Workflow) table in Dataverse?
  2. Are there special security constraints around reading specific workflow records?
  3. Could this be related to solution-managed workflows, ownership, or Business Unit scope?

Since this has now happened in two different environments, I'm wondering if this might be related to a platform change or new restriction rather than just a configuration issue.

Has anyone else experienced something similar recently?

Thanks!

    This issue is most likely caused by the fact that the Basic User security role only has User level read access to the Process table: 
     
     
    Try cloning the Basic User security role, changing the scope from User to Organization and then assign the role to the users.
     
    In case you are using custom security roles, consider making the suggested change to those instead of the (clone of the) Basic User role.

    Thanks @BCBuizer
     
    That solved my issue, but I still don't know if this was because a platform change or new restriction, or if just was a configuration issue in my end.
     
    Do you have any information about this?

    As far as I know this is a situation that has been around since a very long time and the fix has always been the same. In cases where people have claimed "it worked before", usually it turned out the users had other security roles assigned that did include the required priviliges for the flows to run.
