Error when others are running flow within the app

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 70

Hello, my coworkers get an error when trying to run the flow. They are able to see all the data within the app but when the flow is executed it responds with an error immediately. What I am confused about is that when I run the flow it works without issues. Powerapps and flow are being used within the Teams environment.

 

My button function is below, when I view the actual data of the OnSelect function, it knows the correct values for the project number, and both htmltext fields. The error that powerapps responds with is MakePDF.Run failed, invalid Createfile_FileName. 

 

Set(LinksFromFlow,Blank()); Set(LinksFromFlow, MakePDF.Run(BrowseGallery1.Selected.ProjectNumber, WorkSheet_HtmlText1.HtmlText, InvoiceSheet_HtmlText1.HtmlText))

 

 

Any ideas what could be causing the issue for others and not myself? I have the permissions for the team set to full access.

    Have you shared the flow with the other users?  When you trigger a flow from a Power Apps button it runs in the security context of the user who clicked the button.  So the other users need access to the flow in addition to the app.

    I haven't shared the flow, but based on my continued testing. I found that upon first opening the application, it shows the project as selected but it isn't. If you click on the gallery to select a different project and back to the one you want to makePDF it works for everyone.

     

    @Pstork1 is there a way to have the gallery select the highest number project in the gallery on start?

    The gallery should select the first (top) item in the gallery by default.  If you sort descending by Project number that should have the one you want selected.
