Hi Everyone,

I am not sure if this is the correct section but here's the deal right now:

I am leaving the organization and I have some powerapps, powerautomate and sharepointonline site that were created under my account. What will happen to all these resources once my account gets deactivated? I am hoping that these get preserved as it's a culmination of 3 years of work.

Thanks in advance to those who can help.

Hello @Anonymous,

Apps and Flows you created will still be available after you have left the organization. A good practice would be to assign a co-owner to your apps and flows so people can adapt them after you have left.
In the Power Platform Admin Center, an admin can also share the app even if they are not the owner.
If your organization is using the Center of Excellence, your manager might also be prompted to make changes to the owner/share the resources that are then "orphaned".

You should keep in mind that any running cloud flow that doesn't have a valid, licensed user as the owner will eventually get suspended/stopped. The same thing with any connections where your user account is being used, these will expire and no longer work. Therefore on the automation side it is important to locate new owners for flows that should keep running.

Hello @Anonymous,

the contents of the SharePoint site should not be affected by your leaving the organization. However, it would make sense to add another owner to the SharePoint site so someone can continue managing it.
