What is the point of User restriction when sharing a flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 65

I am trying to share my flow with another user, but I do not want the user to be able to edit, share or even able to view the content of the flow.

 

There are of course two options available when sharing a flow, User and Co-owner.  The User option is supposed to give me the power to prevent the other user from being able to edit, view and share the flow, but I noticed that that option becomes almost useless when the person I am sharing the flow with actually has the ability to make a copy of the shared flow, which is then saved under "My flows" in his PAD, which then give him the ability to edit, view and share the flow.

 

I understand that the User status option prevents the second party from changing the original instance of the flow, but I think Microsoft should increase the restrictions to the inability to make a duplicate of the flow as well.

 

What do you think?
