Delegated Permissions for Connected Flow using HTTP Connector

Hello,

I recently built a Power App that calls a Flow to perform some custom API calls and return the results to the application. Those API calls happen through the HTTP with Microsoft Entra (pre-authorized) connector, and I would like them to run in the current user's context. When a new user opens the Power App, they're met with a prompt to sign in and then another prompt to fill in the details of the API endpoint:

Obviously, this is less than ideal as we don't want to provide instructions for how to connect to a web service that should be seamless. Is there something I can change to prevent this prompt while still running those calls in the running user's contex?

Thanks.

Hi rjhale

Have you tried with setting the consent to false? I mean Disable The Power Apps Permissions Pop-Up (Bypass Consent Form)?

Sets the consent bypass flag so users aren't required to authorize API connections for the input app in Power Apps. Please check these articles:

NOTE: You would admin rights on environment in which app resides.

Thanks,

Thanks for the response. I don't think that is going to work for us because I'm not an admin in that environment, and my company would likely deny my request to override individual user's consent.

Is there anything else that I can do to call that API in the user's context? It seems like there should be a way given that PA is basically just a way of stringing together web services calls.

Hi,

Try creating custom connector and then create connection for the custom connector and share the connection to end user.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we're not allowed to create custom connectors in any of our environments. I work in a highly regulated industry and the DLP policies that we're subject to are very strict and inflexible.

I would be all for trying other suggestions if you think of anything. Thanks again.
