Flow shows different user credentials in the same SharePoint control?

Hi,

 

This is a bit of an odd one, I have a PowerApp that captures an image then passes it to Flow which in turn saves the image into a document library.  I've been doing some troubleshooting on a different issue and I spotted something very odd in the output from previously run Flows.


The basic flow:

Click on the "Update file properties" control I see the correct user, Margaret, information as she is the person that is submitting the image via PowerApps.

However as I scrolled down the output screen the "Created By" name changes to another user in the tenant, Tony.

If I look at the image saved into the document library the "Created" field has Tony's name.  This is a little bit concerning as it means the data in the document library isn't consistent as images uploaded by one user has the wrong name against it.  There is also the question of security?  

 

Has anyone seen anything like this before or any suggestions on why it's happening?

 

Thanks

    Hi @Rob_CTL ,

     

    Please check the connection used in Create file action and see if it is fixed to Tony. Besides, you can delete the Create file action and add it again without managing the connections, share App and flow again.
