Sharing Power Automate in Developer Type Environment

Hi community,

does anyone know if Power Automate can be shared in the Developer type environment?

I have a power automate that uses premium connector and I was not able to share the flow even turning the trial license on.

A message popped up said it’s disabled and stated to try this action in default.

Is there anyway that I can share Power Automate flows in the developer type environment?

Hi,

Building flow under your identity should be only done for personal flow. If you start building for your organization you must avoid that, create a service account as flow owner. There are many benefits:
One owner identity for all flows, just have to share account credentials to your team.
Service account can have a mailbox, just give any users who will trigger the flow send permission to it if flow sends mail.
If you leave your organization, nothing to change (owner, mailbox, license, ..)
You can give extended permissions to that service account you wouldn't give to a standard user.
As flows run under owner account context, you just need to purchase premium connector license for the service account

Hello, thank you for answering but your answer does not address the question and issue.

This is a developer environment and there are more than 1 developers that are collaborating and building flows together. The recommendation of using one service account where all developers use the same credential to sign in and do work doesn’t sound like best practices to me.

However, I do agree that the service account will need to own the solution and any work that is done for organization level isn’t tied to an individual account.

once again, my problem and question is that it seems like power automated cannot be shared in the developer environment.
I am just wondering if others have experienced the same? Is this the limitation of the developer environment where power automate cannot be shared?
