Unable to test a flow immediately after editing it due to permissions issue - You are not allowed to make flows in this X environment.

Hi,

I am having the following issue with flow testing.

 

I have created a standalone flow (not part of a solution) that is driven by a Power BI data alert. While working with the standalone flow, I was able to edit and test it without any issues. I then created a solution and added the flow to it. Now, after making any changes to the flow, I have to close it and reopen it from the solution, or the test won't run and I get the following error message:

 

You are not allowed to make flows in this 'undefined' environment. Please switch to the default environment or one of your own environments where you have maker permissions.

 

After re-opening it, I am able to test it without any problems.

So, after adding the flow to a solution, I can only test it after reopening it. Is this necessary?

    I have the same issue. The error message is not helping much.  This bug is slowing me down soo much

    Hi @santi95,

    I was indeed using the default environment of our tenant in which I had 'Maker without full data access' rights. However I then created a new environment in which I have 'Admin' role and I was experiencing the same issue in this new environment.  I then added my account to 'Environment Maker' role, but I'm still having the same issue.

    @IgorM 

     

    Are you adding this to a solution in the Default environment? When you use solutions it uses Dataverse in the background, there may be a role that you are missing so when you are trying to do that something is breaking.

     

    You can check the environment roles and capacity in Power Platform Admin.
