Dataverse Trigger - Scope

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

 

I've created a flow that is triggered when a Dataverse row in modified. The flow works correctly but I can't seem to understand how the scope works. I've read the documentation and to my understanding when the scope is set to "Organization" the flow should always be triggered if a row is modified in the enviroment, when the scope is set to "Business Unit" the flow should only be triggered in case a row is modified by person in the same business unit as the owner, ...

 

Therefore, I would except that in case organization is selected as a scope the flow would always be triggered when a row is modified in the environment. This however isn't the case as in my example the flow is only triggered in case, I set the scope to Business Unit. How is it possible that a flow is triggered when the scope is set to Business Unit but not when it's set to Organization? (This is the case when I trigger the flow or any of my colleagues).

 

It gets even weirder as in the Production environment the flow will only trigger when the scope is set to "Parent: Child business unit" and not when it's set to "Organization" or "Business Unit". 

 

How is this possible?

 

Thanks in advance.

Lars

    Hello Lars,

     

    the official documentation says the following:

    So it seems businiess unit is what ever unit owns the ROW in question.

    Thanks for the Reply @StretchFredrik .

     

    I understand that but doesn't that imply that if a flow triggers on scope "Business Unit" it should also trigger on scope "Organization"? As every row owned by your business unit is a row owned by someone within the organization?

    I agree with you that it should. As for why it doesn't im afraid only Microsoft can answer 😞
