Best practice on creating a shared connection for Power Automate to SharePoint

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

Hi,

 

What is best practice for creating a SharePoint connection for Power Automate, which would be executed whenever someone creates or modifies a file in a SharePoint document library?

 

The flow is currently working as expected and the connection uses my account to execute it, and I'm wondering what will happen once I get off-boarded from the project and they remove my access?

 

Also, the same flow should be present in multiple higher envionments (SIT/ UAT/ PROD), it might be possible that I won't have access to some of those? I will export the solution and someone with proper access will import to another environment, but instead of using an individual's account is there a better way of creating the connection? Please suggest.

 

Thank in advance!!

    Personal connections are okay if you are building flows for yourself.

    I usually use a service account when building enterprise flows.

    This ensures that no personal accounts are used when configuring the flows.

    Also, use Solutions where possible. Solutions allow you to use Shared connections across multiple flows.
