Add and edit file suggestions permissions for users - automated approval request to management

(0) ShareShare

Hi!

I am trying to enable/create the appropriate permission that will allow my staff to edit/contribute and add documents to document libraries and lists, but it then send an approval request to management to approve before it is a new version.

I have tried giving them contribute permission, and adding a power automate flow for approval however power automate flow is not triggering even though the flow details says it is fine.


  1. Are contribute the correct permissions to give for what I am trying to achieve?

  2. If they are not the correct permissions, what are and what is the process user would take to suggest edit to the document? and to add one?

  3. Does anyone have any clue as to why my power automate will not trigger when someone edits a doc?

  4.  

things i have tried: checked library version settings and selected require approval option, i have cross checked my flow against so many videos/Microsoft instructions and its exactly the same but still wont work, checked my connectors in power automate are all working. One thing that is strange in power automate, is when i try to test the flow - i only have the option to select "manually" and the wheel just spins in the middle of the screen and says "to see it work now, perform the starting acting", but its just blank. not sure if that has anything to do with it?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated :)
