(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 496

Hi Friends

 

I have a app using power automate flow to convert the XML output to PDF and email .. Users can run my app as i have provided the access to them on list level and app  .. 

 

But it seems when they run the app , it will not generate any emails and send to the recipients .. Do we need to provide the access to flows and onedrive 

 

if yes , pls let me know how to provide the access to flows

    Hi @ajithd6368 ,

     

    You could set the users to be Run-Only users and force them to use the connection that created by you.

    Hi @ajithd6368 ,

     

    Have you checked the run history?  Whether the flow is triggered? Is there any error?

     

    Best Regards,

    Hi Bof ,

     

    Managed to fix the issue , i have given read/write permission to the onedrive folder to the users. Then it started executing the power automate flows for uses. But i have a concern here , to run these flows users need read/write access to my folders in onedrive  as one of the step(create files) in the flow create a HTML file and convert to PDF .  Would you pls advice what is the best way to handle this without giving permission to my folders in onedrive

    Hi @ajithd6368 ,

     

    You could set the users to be Run-Only users and force them to use the connection that created by you. The Run-only users will use your identity to access One Drive when calling this flow.

    Hi Bof ,

     

    Thanks for the response .. 

     

    I have already provided the "force users to access connection"  as i mentioned in my previous update .. It was as below
