Restrict desktop flow to automate particular application

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 12

As a governance we want to restrict desktop flow to automate particular application.

 

So is there any way we can set governance to restrict the end user to automate particular application in org

 

Thanks

    I think its not possible in Power Automate Desktop. But possible in Power Automate Cloud. 

     

    Interesting to know if someone has workaround.

    Is this for unattended or attended scenario?

     

    For unattended - just revoke permissions to run the app from the user account used for the unattended session (number of ways, like removing access to the installation folder, uninstalling the app, or more sophisticated ways via GPO etc if you have IT ops team - ask them)

     

    For attended - nothing pops into my mind, maybe some tinkering with windows scheduled tasks:

    - trigger schedule task each time "app 1" is opened

    - if there is PAD process running at the time APP was started - kill the APP or PAD process or similar crazy way of doing this hahaha 😄

     

    or maybe you have some management/security software that could do this for you.

    @momlo I want the users to have the ability to do UI Automation but still restrict them from doing UI Automation on SAP clients. Right now even if we apply DLP policies on SAP connector they can still do the UI automation on the client. If I restrict the UI Automation they are not able to do other automations.
