Quirkiness/Error with PowerApps Trigger on Send an Email (V2) and Create file in Sharepoint

Hi,

 

I used the "PowerApps" trigger on a Flow.  In the flow, I have a "Send an Email (V2)" step and "Create file" in Sharepoint step.  Both exhibits some quirkiness/error. 

 

Send an Email (V2) Issue: 

I used my connection to set up this step.  I send the email to myself and cc to myself.  

However, when the email is received, it showed that the email is originated by me, but the "From" field showed the name of the co-worker who trigger the PowerApps!  I expect the email to be originated from the person with connection (i.e. me), not the person who trigger the PowerApps.

"Create file" in Sharepoint Issue:

The idea of this step is to put the attachment in a Sharepoint folder on our Sharepoint site.  I have full permission to this Sharepoint folder, but my coworkers only have read permission on this folder.  I used my credentials for this "Create File" step.  When my coworker trigger the Flow from PowerApps, this step will fail citing no permission.  Seeing the issue with Email above, I changed the permission of the Sharepoint folder to allow my workers to Add to the folder.  Then, this step runs fine and the file is created in the Sharepoint folder.  I expect the permission to be based on my credential, rather than the person who pulls the trigger in PowerApps.  

 

I think both issues are more on quirkiness than errors, especially when I seem to figure out what is going on.  

 

Is my expectation wrong?  What do you all think?
