SharePoint connections issues when running the desktop flows in multiple machines(different users)

Posted on by cbgbala

My desktop flow is built to read excel files from SharePoint, do some calculations and update templates based on the outcomes of the calculation in the SharePoint. If I run this with single machine it's working fine. where as if I run it in multiple machines, I am getting an error "Access to some desktop flow connectors wasn't validated. Verify the following connections: and try again."

If Microsoft come up with some solution that would be great.

Note: Both users has access to SharePoint.

Hi there,
Is this same connection share across all the flows? Could you please help me reproduce your issue in my system?

Hi @cbgbala

Just a thought, not sure whether this would be correct- > if you are using two different ids for running the process in 2 different machines, then if you can try sharepoint connections with using the corresponding ids, would that resolve the issue ?

This comes to my mind when i went through the screenshot of limitations which @cbgbala has shared 🙂

As the screenshot you added notes, sharing Desktop flows with connection references is not supported. If you want several users to run it, you will need these users to create their own connection references and then edit the flow to use that.
