How to change the original owner of a flow?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I've read that it is possible to change the original owner of the flow that I create from the Solutions tab, as you can read on the link below:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Change-original-owner-of-a-flow/idi-p/94053#comments

But I would like to know how.

 

(I don't want to export and import the flow with the new account)

 

✈️PowerApps

I would like to show you how I change the original owner in the powerapps:

 

1. Run PowerShell as an administrator.

2. Import the necessary modules using the following commands:

 

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -AllowClobber

 

3. Provide my credentials

 

Add-PowerAppsAccount

 

4. Change de original owner

 

Set-AdminPowerAppOwner –AppName 'AppName' -AppOwner 'UserId' –EnvironmentName 'EnvironmentName'

 

5. That's all, for me it worked

 

For more information:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/powerapps-powershell#operation-examples

 

 

✈️Power Automate

I tried the same steps as above, but it didn't work.

 

I tried to use these commands, but none works, can you help me?

  • Set-AdminFlowOwnerRole
  • Get-AdminFlowOwnerRole

    Here is how I did it:

    1. Navigate to the details page of the flow and select "Edit" from the "Details" pane:

    2. Change the owners and press Save:

    Solution details page:

    SolutionList.png

    Flow details page:

    FlowDetails.png

     

    on the flow details page a different owner appears on the solution details page, how can i fix this?

    The only other way (I confirmed from Stephen over Email) is using the REST API.

    As I said I've read that it is possible to change the original owner of the flow that I create from the Solutions tab, as you can read on the link below:

    But I would like to know how.

     

     

    you and I tried the same way, is there no other way? I think there must be a way

    Set-AdminFlowOwner role only supports CanView and CanEdit Role types.

     

    As a test i tried changing the current owner tole to CanView and i get BadRequest error so i am assuming this is not possible currently.
