Instant flow to refresh Power Platform Dataflow (under Power Apps)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Josephkm_lim 64

Hi,

 

I have a instant flow to allow import of file, then call a Dataflow to refresh. This is Power Apps Dataflow.

 

I checked the flow permissions for run-only users: the default dataflow's connection is set to Provided by run-only user.

However, when I tested the flow with a run-only user, I encountered the following error:

"Message": "The backend request failed with error code 403",

"Reason": "Forbidden"

Is there a successful way to allow run-only users to access to dataflow?

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @JLKM ,

     

    At my knowledge , other users cannot refresh the dataflow you created.

    I recommend using your connection for this action.

    I'm trying to do similar activity, I have an instant power automate which refreshes data flows but invoked by different users than owner, I couldn't locate the option shown above,

    How can I get to this option so that I can change it to connection based. ?

    @ncp-tt Looks like they changed the area which the run users is selected. See following screen shots. I managed to get my dataflows triggered by another user through this method. However still have the problem that the dataflows are not linked / owned by a real service account.
