User account for automated flows

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

Just wondering what people use as their account for their automated flows? I know we can create flows to use our personal account but that would mean that if the owner of the personal account ever leaves that would mean the flows would stop working. Have people just been using a service account? or can we use more elegant solution like Azure managed identities for example?

    Hi @id013 ,

     

    I suggest you create a service account, give the account proper permissions | licenses, and use the account's connection in the flow.

     

    Best Regards,
