I have created a Flow with Dynamics and the Approvals connector.

Re: Approval general permissions error

There are two solutions to solve it:

1. Add the user as the owner and make sure he has a valid license

2. Share a flow with Run only users

When you share a flow using Run only user, the flow owner can determine how connections will be used. If the flow owner specifies that connections should be Provided by run-only user, that means a user will have to create a connection before they can use the flow and when they run the flow they will use that connection. This is particularly beneficial when you want emails to be sent on behalf of the user that clicked the button.
