How to restrict development permissions in Power Automate Desktop?

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by DF-06011458-0
Hello everyone,

I'm facing a challenge with Power Automate Desktop and would like to know if anyone can help me. I need to configure the permissions of a specific user so that they can only run a specific Power Automate Desktop (RPA) automation, without having access to development features such as creating or editing a flow.

I've tried searching the permissions settings and the Power Automate portal, but I can't find a clear solution. Does anyone know how I can do this? Is there any way to block access to development and only allow an automation to run?
 
Thanks in advance for your help!

    In this,  User role helps to give access to user so that they can just see and run the flow without editing it.
