Restrict User ability to create flows but allow them to consume

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by shockotech 2

I'd like to provide some flows for users on one of my SharePoint Online Sites. As I understand this requires the user to be licensed for PowerAutomate (I have the M365 license). However, I don't want users to be able to create their own flows. Is this possible?

    Hi @shockotech 

     

    I don't think it's possible, sorry. The user needs permission and a license to run Flows, so they will have permission to create them. 

     

    Let's see if someone knows of an admin tool that can block the creation of Flows.

     

    Cheers
    Manuel
