How to use the connection of a non maker in a flow within a managed solution

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello,

 

I begin to work with solutions and I've created 2 flows in this solution.

In the dev environments, I initiate the flows with my connection and I've deployed the entire solution in preprod as a managed solution.

The fact is that in preprod, I cannot use my connection, I have to replace it with the client connection because I don't want to send mails and message in Teams with my name.

I cannot edit the flow because it's a managed environment and my client (who is co-owner of the flow) cannot edit the flow because he's not a maker.

So, for those who works with solutions, what's THE solution?

- Should I remove the flows from the solution? But maybe a non-sense to work with solutions in this case...

    It depends, when importing a solution if you have configured connectors in the solution and you use them in your flows, when importing the solution you will be asked to initialize the connectors

    Here is an example of one of my solutions
    Here are my connectors

    You can see that in my flow the connector in my solution is referenced in my sharepoint action

    During import you will be asked to create or use existing connections, you can create a new connection with your user's data

    moreover in the flow parameters you can set the Run only user, which allows you to assign with which connection the actions are carried out (example a provided by run only user allows you to use the connection of a user who will use a power app which calls for a flow) in this way each user has their own connection to reference them

    I hope I have understood your problem, if not do not hesitate to ask questions
