Teams connection, how to not use your own credentials

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by JArpalo

I have a Flow that posts to Teams. Is there some way to change the Teams connection this Flow is using to use something else than my own AD credentials for authenticating to Teams, similar to using a Service Principal when connecting to Dynamics 365 from Power Automate?

The point being to not use my own credentials in a Power Automate connection, but rather a "generic" connection not associated to any user's own credentials.

@JArpalo you should have a service account and the connection reference should be of the service account with never expiring password and MFA disabled

I support the idea of the service account proposed by @jinivthakkar, it seems the easiest way.

By service account, do you mean a regular user account that is dedicated to be used just for this connection (and maybe other similar connections?) I was thinking the same, but this would probably also require the necessary licenses to be able to use the services. Unlike a application user, that does not require a license.

@JArpalo Yes, just another account with all licenses dedicated just to be used as connections
