Restrict user from editing a Power Automate flow

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 37

Hello Experts,

 

I have a requirement where user will be assigned a single role and should be able to do followings:

1. User should not be able to edit the flow.

2. User should be able to see all run histories.

3. User should be able to resubmit a flow run history.

 

By checking I got to know that there are some OOB security roles which are needed for fulfilling above requirement. But on assigning those OOB roles to an user, user can edit an flow, which is not expected.

 

And even if I all the privileges from OOB role to my custom role, it is needed to assign OOB role for accessing flows and see flow run histories(By doing this user also gets edit privilege).

 

Any help is much appreciated, Thanks!

 

Best Regards,

Hardik Chauhan

    Hi @chauhanhardik ,

    Do you want to make the users have only-running permission?

     

    The run-only permissions feature allows you to grant a very limited set of permissions to manually-triggered flows (such as button and instant flows). With this option, users can only execute the flow. They cannot edit or modify any part of the flow and will only be granted permission to trigger it.

     

    However, currently if you provide a user with run only access, they can run the flow but not view the history.

    For automated flows, and any flow that you want a person to view the run history, you need to have them as a co owner and that permission level allows them to edit the flow as well.
