Unique variable for every user

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by v_beshlega 15

Hi, i`m creating a simple script in Power Automate Desktop, wich download files based on excel data. In this script i have variable wich contains path of a folder - where downloaded files are moved. 
Every user i share this script - have unique path, for example - to desktop. Can i create unique var. for every user or can they change this var only for themselve? Or users need to copy flow and edit by themselves? If so, i can`t change something in flow for every user.

 

Thank you in advance for answer, 

Valentyn Beshlega

    If you need the path to the user's desktop:

    If you need the username in order to make a folder somewhere:
