Cannot add the flow with service principal in Power Apps

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Thinzar

Hello, everyone

 

I have added the service principal application user for the connection reference in my flow. And the flow works successfully when I test manually in the automate side. I could achieve adding the flow to the power apps since the connection owner is myself. However, when my coworker tries to add that flow, it shows the below-attached error message. Why?

 

Is there any way I could add the flow with service principal regardless of the owner of the flow.

 

Thanks and any suggestions are welcomed.

    Hi 
    I had similar problem.
    I resolved by adding to the PoweApp a new flow which runs another child flow (the flow you want to run and make your actions) with desired connection reference. 
    The flow triggers from PowerApp. The child flow has 'Manual' trigger.
    The trigger flow with action 'Run child flow' and the child flow should be part of a 'Solution'. 
    Make sure the child flow 'Run only user' is setup with your desired connection references on your actions.
