    Hi @Hammadagirdar ,

     

    Please try these steps.

    1. Go to Power Platform Admin Center (admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com)
    2. Select Environments
    3. Select the environment in which the error occurs
    4. Select Security Roles > See All
    5. Click the ellipsis (...) next to Approvals Administrator and select Edit
    6. Search for "asyncoperation" (aka "System Job") table (select "Show all tables" if not visible)
    7. Update the read permission to "Organization"

     

    Best Regards,

    Wearsky

    Hello together

    I am seeing exactly the same behavior. It worked until yesterday and now it is not working anymore.

    I have 20+ flows with approvals which have been functional for over a year until yesterday. I understand the steps listed earlier in this tread would allow my flows to start working. Is this a work-around or the required solution going forward? Also, is there an explanation why this change is needed?
