Hello All,
I'm trying to run a child flow from a flow to achieve impersonation. However I'm receiving the following Error after inseting the 'run a child flow' block (child flow is complete and finished):
I figured out why i was receiving the error, for the child flow i had yet to define the connectors to be used by users.
Nice idea but that didn't work for me.
If I find a another solution I'll add here.
In the child flow, you need to change the 'Run only users' settings, which is currently in the bottom right of the flow dashboard.
Click Edit in that section and change the Connections Used from 'Provided by run-only user' to one of the specific user connections.
Thanks @Sympmarc !
Hi @Sympmarc,I have this same issue. I click edit for the run-only users.
Then I change the Connections Used from 'Provided by run-only user' to one of the specific user connections.
And yet I still get the error in my parent flow, am I missing something?
Same here. Not sure why.
I had to edit the flow steps and save them again for the parent flow to recognize I had changed the connections. That fixed it for me.
This fixed it for me as well. After setting the run only users I need to edit one of the actions and save. Thanks for posting this solution.
Step @pauldeden mentioned should be also marked as an answer. I thought I did all necessary steps and somehow overlooked that I have to save child flow even though I do not any changes to its actions. This is counter intuitive and made me think error resolved itself while I probably saved it unknowingly fixing it.
Only changing the run-only permissions was not enough for me, either. Had to open the child flow and save it (without making any changes) to make it work.
