Team ownership of data connection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 234

I have built a process that uses a form to gather data to a list and Power Automate to respond to new or updated data.

The data is customer complaints reported to our Supporter Relations Team (SRT)

There is a team, SRT, and the Complaints list sits on the SRT SharePoint site

The flow uses data connections in my name.

Those only work while I am a member of the SRT Team.

I don't want to be a member of the SRT Team, my inbox gets filled with the 1,001 emails SRT work on everyday

There must be a way I can develop a process for a Team and it works for that Team without me being a member of that Team.  Otherwise I will end up having to be a member of every team in the organisation and being sent every email and every calendar invite and every Team message!!!

I have tried adding new connections to the flow as SRT@....org.uk but it tells me that email is invalid.  SRT@...org.uk is an owner of the flow

 

Please can anybody help?

 

If it means rebuilding the list, flow, form, whatever, but logged on as somebody else I can do that.  But I want to do it as the Team, not as any one individual, who might move on and leave the process broken again.

    You can use an app registration for this but this forces you to use HTTP calls to Sharepoint instead of using the normal Sharepoint connector.

     

    You can find an example here: How To Perform A SharePoint App-Only Authentication In Power Automate (c-sharpcorner.com)

    Thank you @okeks 

    I failed at the first step!  https://{tenant name}.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx gives me, "Access denied - Please ask the site admin to give you access."  I am a site admin - what access do I need to switch on?

    I guess you need to be Sharepoint Admin if not also something on the tenant level.

    Also requires a premium licence so isn't going to work for us

    Then there are only ways which don't comply with the license agreement.

    Really rubbish that software intended for corporate use relies entirely on personal licences!!  Does nobody working for Microsoft ever change job???
