Run an automated flow as the user saving the record

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 112

Hi all,

 

I have a few automated flows, but they run with my credentials.  I need to run it as the user who is working of the record.  There is an option to do so in Dynamics CRM, but if I use Power Automate, this options does not seem to be available.  Can this be done, or should I create a process in Dynamics?

 

TIA

    Thanks @EricaBao, I actually found this article after I posted the question, although I can't find where to get the option mentioned here, even though my flow is inside a solution

    You can change the connection to use another user's account, via clicking the more options at the right top of the action and create a new connection. But if you want the connection to be dynamic depending on who is currently working on the records, I am afraid that this is impossible in Power Automate.
