Can't See Existing Flows

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

 

I built a flow in Power Automate Desktop in December in my Personal Productivity environment. We now have a virtual machine, and are planning to run this flow in unattended mode on the VM.

 

I installed Power Automate Desktop on the VM. However, when I sign in, I can't see my flow and receive the following message: “You aren’t permitted to create flows in this environment. Please switch to the default environment or to one of your own environment(s), where you have maker permissions.”

 

So I can see the flow on my own machine, and can create new flows. However, on the VM (using the same account and environment), I can't see the flow and don't have permission to create new flows.

 

The only difference I can think of is the Power Automate Desktop version numbers. I'm using a slightly older version on my machine - 2.1.20312.19572 - and it's still in preview mode. The version on the VM is 2.2.20339.22608 and is no longer in preview mode.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Please try upgrading to latest version of PAD and also please disable the firewall on VM machine.

     

    I hope the above will help.

     

    Best Regards.

    Sunil
