403 Error when writing to a SharePoint - intermittent

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 240

Hello, 

 

I have two flows that are part of the PowerApp. In both of the flows, there is a connector tied to a service account used in Create Item in SharePoint Online action. Service account is Site Collection Admin on the target site where the item is to be created. What I am seeing is that when the app is used by myself and some other users, all is good; - while when the app is being used by the other set of users, I get 403 - forbidden on SPO Create Item action. Again, there is a service account tied to the action, we have just shared a flow with a site last night hoping that this will resolve the issue;  - but I am not sure if this is a way to fix this.

 

Could you please give some guidance as to why this is happening to some users, as the app users(accounts) should not have any interaction with the site as the create item in SPO action is handled by the service account.

    Hi @nemanjasovic011,

     

    Because the flow is being called from the Power App, all the connections in the flow will also run under the context of the user running the Power App.  So flows triggered from Power Apps run in the content of the user running the App.

    For a possible solution to your issue, please see:
