power automate guest user access

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 36

Hi all,

 

I have a setup where a developer is guested in to my AAD.  Everything seems to be working fine in PowerApps, they are a system administrator of the Envinroment and can create flows/dataverse tables.  Now I have a weird issue in that when I try to run a flow as a guest user on a dataverse table that the guest user created, it errors with a 403 forbidden message.  When I check permissions the user account comes up as all green for access to the table.  I can manually go into the table as the guest user and update/delete the rows, it just seems to be an issue with power automate.

 

when I try to login to powerautomate as a guest user it doesn't work and when I try to access the flow from powerapps (to go off to make.powerautomate.com/..../environmentGUID) it thorws an error and says:

 

Error: You are not permitted to make flows in this 'GUID'. Please switch to the default environment, or to one of your own environment(s), where you have maker permissions.

 

But I have Sysetm Admin access.  Is this a bug? or have I got something wrong with the guest user?

 

thanks

    i worked it out. 

    please see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi6TIrffFSY

     

    You can also then let the guest access your tenants PowerAutomate space using the link:

    https://make.powerautomate.com/flows?loginTenant=<tenantID>

    where the tenant ID is your Azure tenant ID.

    Hi @ajj81 ,

     

    I mean the apps included in the licenses:

    Hi,

     

    The license is assigned to the user. I'm not sure what you mean by assigning the app to the user as they are the creator so already have access.

     

    Thanks

    Hi @ajj81 ,

     

    Yes, PowerApps per user license includes power automate use privilege. However, you still need to assign license and App to the user in M365 admin center.

    Hi, thanks for the response.

     

    The user is already part of the tenant.

    The user is the owner and creator of both the flow and app (permissions checker show all green access)

    The user has a per user license (which should include the appropriate power automate license - or could this be the issue?).

     

    Thanks

    Hi @ajj81 ,

     

    If you want guest users to be able to use the flow along with the App, they need:

    1. be added into your tenant.

    2. be shared with the appropriate security roles for data sources, co-owner of the App and flow.

    3. be assigned PowerApps and Power Automate flow licenses.

     

    Best regards,
