Run in the context of the owner and pass data back to Power Apps

As the title suggests, is it possible to have a flow run in the context of the owner then pass this data back to a Power App? I know that in order to run in the context of the owner, the flow needs to not be manually triggered. I thought of using the HTTP and Response method, but I don't know how I'm supposed to get the data back to my Power App since it's not referenced in the Response flow. Can the first flow essentially wait for a response from the secondary flow, similar to a "Wait for approval" action?

 

The problem I'm having is that I'm retrieving folder permissions from SharePoint, which works for me but if anyone else tries to run it they get an "Access is denied" error. After looking into this a bit more, it probably has something to do with group settings and not allowing everyone to view group membership. It should be noted that I'm using a domain group from AD to establish SharePoint permissions, so I can't adjust the group settings because it's considered a user on SharePoint. When I created a group and added this domain group to it, running the flow then no longer works for me at all, which I'm not really sure why.
