Button Flow in SP List does not work for users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 169

I have a flow that is initiated by a button click.  The button is located on a SP list in a column.   This flow works for me, the owner, but does not work for any of the end users despite giving 'Run only' permissions on the flow.


Are there any additional prerequisites needed to ensure the flow runs from other user contexts besides mine?

 

Wanted to add that SharePoint isn't listed as a Connection and I am unable to add additional connections.

    Hi @illmatic 

     

    Thank you for posting.

     

    According to your description, you would like to assign ‘run only’ permission to others but failed. If any misunderstanding, please kindly let me know.

     

    I tested as you described but couldn’t reproduce your issue. Thus, it shouldn't be a global incident. I’m able to assign ‘run only’ permission without problem.

     

    Since you didn’t mention your error message, please help to confirm your license. To share flow to others, we must be assigned a paid license. If you are assigned ‘power automate free license’, I’m afraid it’s not supported now.

     

    Meanwhile, you must be the owner or creator of this flow.

    Please help to check from your end and if any confusion, please let me know.

     

    Hope the content above may help you.

     

    Best regards,

    Hi there,

    My license is paid.. I'm in a government tenant so all users have GCC enterprise licenses.   The reason I didn't indicate an error is because there is none listed.  When users click the button in the SharePoint list, they are just alerted that the flow failed in the right window pane.


    Please note, this flow initiates a child flow via an HTTP Request.  I thought perhaps that the issue may be that other users in the tenant don't have the same licensing as I do [meaning they can't run the premium action under their user context].   However, a different flow I have which is initiated from a PowerApps button runs the flow under their context and also has an HTTP Request call to a child flow which runs fine.

     

    What am I missing?

    @illmatic 

    What permissions do the users have on the list?

    Hi Scott,

    Everyone has 'Full Control' permissions to the list.
