Sharepoint connection with provided by run-only user when sending HTTP Request to Sharepoint

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 427

Hello, 

 

I build a workflow that interacts a lot with Sharepoint (updating properties, get file content, create file etc). From what I know is that the Sharepoint action Send a HTTP Request to Sharepoint require the necessary permissions. This is why I have the connection set to run on my owner account:

Result is that all the published files get created by my account which is not desirable, so this tells me I need to rebuild the Sharepoint Send HTTP request actions, or is it possible to have those certain actions run by my account?

I have a premium license so I was thinking I could do the following if only the Send HTTP request cannot be set to run on my account:

 

- Create a solution that has the main flow, the child flows will have the Sharepoint Send HTTP requests. I'm not familiair with child flows yet, but I'm hoping that I can run those flows with my Sharepoint connection and have the main connection Provided by run-only user

- Replace all the Sharepoint Send HTTP requests with the manual HTTP request action:

If there are other easier solutions I'm all ears!

    Have you considered using a service account for the SharePoint HTTP action?

    Hey @ScottShearer 

    Thanks for the reply! I looked what a service account is and sadly I did not get one assigned when I started this project.


    I’m the owner of the flow and the premium license is also tied to this.

    A premium license is not required to use the SharePoint HTTP action.

    That’s true. I needed the premium license for the MS business Populate a word template action that I use later in the flow. 

    But if I’m understanding you currently you advise that I request a service account and set the Sharepoint HTTP requests to that connection?
