Can't change primary owner of a flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by JĶ-23070812-0
I am having some trouble transferring the primary owner role to myself.
This cloud flow is in a solution, which contains many cloud flows, but this particular flow contains a premium connector, which is why (I guess) I can't properly change the primary owner. As of now, the primary owners account is not a licensed account anymore, which might prevent the change of the primary owner as this solution has active errors? And I did check my users capabilities for premium connectors, they are valid.

Primary owner now:

When i try to set myself as the primary owner:


Any help is appreciated!

    Change the owner of a cloud flow:
     

    • You can reassign a solution-aware cloud flow to a new owner (user or service account) directly through the Power Automate portal.

    • In Power Automate, open the solution → select the flow → click Edit in the Details pane → remove the old owner → add yourself (or another user).

      If the new owner doesn't have a premium license, a warning will appear. However, the flow will continue running for up to 30 days before being disabled.

    Note: If the flow has broken or unlicensed connections, you may need to rebind the connectors before changing ownership.

    You are correct, you will need a Premium Power Automate license in order to become the owner of this flow.
     
    If the current owner has their account disabled then the flow will stop working, until then it will continue to work.  You can shift the license from that account to your account, since they no longer need it.
