Get-AdminFlow doesn't return anything

Posted on by RafaelGomes

I'm trying to run the Get-AdminFlow command on PowerShell and it doesn't return anything.

I've installed the latest "PowerShell cmdlets for Power Apps", used the command Add-PowerAppsAccount to login to my admin account an tried to run Get-AdminFlow and it doesn't work.

it thinks for a while but gives me nothing on the terminal.

I'm able to get a specific flow (if I have the flowId) but I'm trying to restore a deleted flow and I need to find the flowId first.

Can you try the below instead?

Get-AdminFlow -EnvironmentName <yourenvironmentid> -IncludeDeleted $true

Below are a couple of other examples which you can try:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powerapps.administration.powershell/get-adminflow?view=pa-ps-latest#examples

Alternatively, you could try the CLI for Microsoft 365 module. This one does require the creation of your own app registration in Entra Id.

On the link you've sent, it says that Get-AdminFlow returns all flow, which is not happening.

The command you suggested also returns nothing

That is strange. I would first check if your module has installed properly.

Like you mentioned earlier, you are using the 2.0.200 version of the Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell module, correct?

https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell/2.0.200

You don't have other versions installed side-by-side for example?

And you mentioned earlier that you had an admin account. Just to double check you mean you have a Global Admin or Environment Admin?

I have tested with the last version of the module. That cmdlet should still work properly, I was unable to reproduce your issue. Below is a test example.

I know this is about a year and a half too late, but I finally got an answer from Microsoft regarding this when I encountered the same issue about two years ago.

As you noted above, before you can use the `Get-AdminFlow` command, you first need to run `Add-PowerAppsAccount` command to first log in with the admin account. What the MS documentation doesn't state, is that the console window where you run these two commands have to also be running as the admin account. E.g. you have to use the "Run as different user", or take advantage of the "runas.exe" command to first open a shell as the admin account. The various other MS PowerShell modules which require logging in don't have a similar requirement. (E.g. `Connect-SPOnline`, `Connect-MicrosoftTeams`, etc.)

I pointed out to support engineer that finally figured this out noted that fixing this inconsistent behavior of `Add-PowerAppsAccount`, but apparently it's not priority of the product teamto fix it.

And then after that, it also get interesting -- but at least it is now documented. If you are global admin, then `Get-AdminFlow` shows all flows from all environments. If you are only Power Platform admin, it only shows flows from environments for which you also happen to have admin rights to.
