@Pstork1 Is it possible to send a teams notification through service principal account
If by service principal account you mean a true service principal, then no. If you mean a separate licensed user account that no one uses, then yes, but the account must be a member of the team.
@Pstork1 Thank you for responding quickly. Yes, service principal(app registration is done in Azure portal with certain Api permissions) so is it possible to send the notifications to teams and outlook by configuring the connections to those actions to service principal? If not, is it possible through the service account.
To the best of my knowledge, it is currently not possible with a service principal. If you create the flow using the service account and the service account is a member of the Team that should work.
@Pstork1 For what exaclty service principal account is used?
Service Principals are a concept from Dynamics 365. MS is increasing their use in the Power Platform, but full support isn't there yet. Read more here: Support for service principal owned flows - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn
@Pstork1 the concept of assigning per-user licenses to a service principal directly doesn't apply in most scenarios. Licenses in Microsoft 365 are generally assigned to user accounts, and a service principal, being a non-human identity, does not typically consume user-based licenses. I have came across this as a part of my research is it true just to confirm it.
That's what I meant when I said "true service principals" can't. But many people use the term to describe a regular user account with a license that isn't used by a particular user. That's what I would call a service account, not a service principle. So yes, licenses are not assigned to a service principal. That's the point of a service principle. They are assigned to a service account, because those are regular user accounts, they just aren't used by a specific person.
@Pstork1 Thank you all my doubts are solved.
