The flow stops running (conflict with business rule)

Posted on by Prajwal Bhetwal

Hi,

I have 2 environments and when a record is created in Env 1 I want the flow to copy it to Env 2 but also I want to prevent users to add a record manually in Env 2.

I have added a business rule to show error and prevent the user to create records in Env 2. But now the flow is conflicting with this business rule.

Is there a way around this issue?

Thank you!

HI @prajwal-bhetwal how are you?

I think you can deactivate the business rule in environment 2 and to prevent users to create records change the security role associated to the users and do not add create privileges for this entity.

Only left permission for the user that is used on flow to create the record.

Let me share an article about security roles and privileges Security roles and privileges - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for your response. It has to be done for only one of the contact types. Not based on user. If contact type = B, then prevent any user from creating the record.

Hi @prajwal-bhetwal thanks for the reply.

With this new condition, I think that an attribute can be used to identity if the user is creating the record or your flow. And at the business rule check the content of this attribute. Do not forget to add this attribute on form, that way business rule will work.

Validation in a plug-in could be an alternative too. Check the user context. If the context user is not the flow user, thrown an exception.
