Connection service account when power app trigger from user account

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I made a powerapp that collects some data and a submit button that starts a powerautomate flow.

In the flow I have several steps that need connections for azure devops, outlook, etc. I made the flow with a service account aswell as all the connection references.

When I run the app from the service account or a user that has all the required rights everything works fine.

When a user who doenst have permission on azure devops it fails, makes sense.

However I want to enforce the flow to use the service account to start the build. I dont want to give everyone rights on azure devops.

When I look at the run the connectionname seems to be the service account however suddenly access is denied.

Is this even possible?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could specify one connection i.e. your service account for every single connector.

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. Since the flow is triggered by a powerapp it isnt categorised as an instan flow i.e. no run only users option is available.

Hi @Anonymous ,

This is by design. If the flow is triggered by powerapps , users can only use their own connections.

The workaround is to create a child flow or use 'When a http request is received' trigger in the second flow.

If you use PowerApps (2) trigger, you can still configure Run only users. You don't need to create a child flow.
