Hello, I have a flow that takes a colecction from powerapps(the flow executes with the push of a button, creates a file in your personal onedrive, adds a table, and then it add the collection with a loop to the excel table:

If I run the flow everythings works OK, but when others users push the button in the create table action of the Excel says forbidden:

I have already set the run-only user configuration and configure it to use the conecctor of the person who executes the flow but it is still not working.

Hello. On the overview of the Flow, look on the right hand side and choose "Run only users" and edit, on the actions you can choose to only use a specific connection. The default is "Provided by run-only user".

Hi,

Based on your description, it looks like a permissions issue for accessing a file created by you, since you are the only user who can access it successfully.

Is the file where the table must be created stored in your personal OneDrive? If yes, do the users have access to it, or is this the same file created in the Crear archivo 1 action? If this is a newly created file, you may need to store it in a folder shared with the other users (I'm not sure if it will work, but you can give a try) or in a SharePoint Document Library.

Another possibility is to set the run-only config to use your connection, rather than the person who executes the flow.

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!
