Security concern regarding Flow Connections

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 26

Hello,

 

I know this might sound funny but I was asked how exactly power automate is storing the connections with user credentials. 

 

So basically question is when we store the connections to various sources in the Flow Connections area, we don't need to again enter those credentials again. I know when we add the connections we do have MFA for connections like O365 etc. we give some sort of consent to use these credentials. So how does Microsoft Flows store the credentials and use them in the flow?

    Hi @Mokshazna ,

     

    I think there is a token store which is abstracted away from users and only accessible by the platform just like the APIM.
