Any idea why I can modify a connection in the Flow designer with a Service Principal, but I can't set up a connection with a Service Principal from the Data-->Connections node?

I feel like I've already spent too much time on this, and sorry if it's been discussed already but I can't find anything on it after a bit of searching.  Thanks!

    @ohgee You can setup connection for any available connector with your account. Pls share error while setting this up.

    Thanks for the reply @Hardesh15 ... I am not trying to use my account.  I am trying to use a service principal.  If I set up the connection from the Power Automate UI, left-hand menu, Data --> Connections... I cannot see how to use a service principal (see screen shot 2).  I only see that I can use an actual AAD account.  However, in the Flow designer itself, I can modify a connection to use a service principal (see screen shot 1).  Why can't I use a service principal when setting up a connection from Data-->Connections?Capture.PNGCapture2.PNG

    @ohgee @Okay. Currently you can not share service principal account with connectors. It is planned release but do not know when it will be rolled out.
