Hi
I have just found out that Flow OOTB runs under the username of the user running the flow.
I need to be able to run a flow under a sepecific username so that it has specific permissions.
The flow uses REST to copy a file.into a specific document library / folder which the user running the Flow does not
normally have read / write access to (The user has Read Only)
How can I do get Flow to run under a specific username to copy the file using REST.?
Thanks
Nigel
I think this may be covered by this Flow Request :- https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Flow-Ideas/Allow-run-only-users-for-non-button-flows-thus-not-requiring/idi-p/58848

Hi @NigelP,
You said that run a flow under a specific user name, do you want to specify a user name to get the flow run under that name but not the current user who running the flow?
I am afraid that your scenario cannot be achieved currently. If you are familiar with Custom APIs, you may try with that. You could also consider submitting a request on Flow Ideas Forum:
