Power Automate Connection References When Importing a Solution

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

We have a solution in a DEV Environment (unmanaged). This solution has a flow that sends emails via outlook. The user that created this solution has the "from" field set to another email that they are authorized to send from. This works perfectly in our dev environment.

 

When I imported this solution (for the first time) into out TEST environment (managed), the flow imports and sets the owner and connection references to me. Because of this, the flow fails.  I know how to change the owner, but I'd like to change the connection references to the other user since I do not have the same permissions to send "from" as they did. 

 

The only way I see to ensure this works, is to have the user (with the correct "from" permissions) be the person to import the flow the first time (it seems as long as they import it first, I can import (upgrade) the solution and it maintains their ownership and connection references).

 

Is there a way that I can import a solution containing a flow that persists the source environments ownership and connection references? Or a way to change the connection references to another user after import?

 

Thanks

    Hi @brandon-w ,

     

    In a certain environment, connection reference always needs a connection configured to it.

    So if you import the solution with connection reference component, it will search your connections in target environment . This is for security reasons. Hope it makes sense.
