Use power automate to query a table users can't see?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by ProfRussell 1

I currently have a table in excel online (business) that has data for several users. I want them only to be able to pull their own records.

 

Currently I have the excel file in a Team that users do not have access to, and Power Apps runs the flow, using the username to gather all records that match, and returns to PowerApps, which parses as a gallery.

 

It works fine for me, but I have access to the team. When I try it with another user, the flow throws a 403 error at the "List rows present in table", and the users see a 502 error.

 

Can I give the flow permissions greater than the users?

    Hi @ProfRussell ,

     

    Please use PowerApps(V2) trigger instead of PowerApps trigger.
