Power Automate error: Connection References Errors in Power Automate Solutions

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6
Im facing the following issue with Power Automate right now. Me and my team started to use a Service Account and we were implementing it on our solutions. We started to change the connections from our personal work accounts to the SA's.
For the flows that are only using the cloud part of Power Automate it all went well. Now for the PAD's flows I'm facing some issues...
We have some cloud flows that call the desktops flows (There's an image below ilustrating). And for the desktops flows I`m having conection references errors for the SharePoint Trigger on the respective PAD flow. Before when I entered in the Desktop Flow Editor it would indicate that there is an erro with the connection refference from the SharePoint triggers and then it was asking to change it and create a new one. I already changed the conection refferences for the SA connection on these triggers and add it respectivaly then on the connection references of my solution, but the erro is still the same.
And the most bizarre part of this is that I'm having the same error on Dekstop flows that doesn't have a SharePoint trigger, so for me this doesn't make any sense and I have no ideia anymore in what to do or how to troubleshoot it.
 
The error message that I'm facing (it's the same in all Desktop Flows, even the ones that doesn't have a SharePoint trigger): 
"Access to some desktop flow connectors in the desktop flow with ID eec26517-390e-4e2e-b844-a7b46213656d was not validated. Verify the following connections: PADFramework_SharePoint/ and try again"
 
What should I do??? Im lost!

    Hey @Power Platform 1919 thanks for the reply! 
    So following the refered link that u sent me I added my Service Account as the Co-Owner of the flow. But I can't see the option of embebiding the connection references on the Power Automate, I'm doing something wrong? This should be done in the Power Automate Cloud interface or in the Desktop? I am the owner of the flow and the Service Account now it's the co-owner.
    Below follows the print of both my interfaces:

    Hi @BF-14071321-0 ,
    This should be done in the Power Automate Cloud interface .

    can you check this from both desktop flow owner and service principal account (co - owner) if you are able to see manage connections setting
