    Hi , @Shafdev 

    The SharePoint connector in Power Automate do not support the Service principal currently.

    If you still want to use the Service principal  ,you may need to try to use the HTTP connector (premium connector) which supports this to call SharePoint APIs. 

    For more information, you can refer to :
