PowerAutomate - Change Flow Ownership to Service Application User Account

[@nihar4713]

very informative

[@user-kx5hs4cw8h]

Thank you! Microsoft documentation fails to provide the detail on how to change the Flow Owner using the Details Edit button (not the Owner Edit which would make a lot more sense!). I appreciate the video explaining it a lot better!

[@suryaraochowdarykoduri]

how does the permissions work for the connectors used in the flow? For instance, in your flow, you had an outlook connector that is sending an e-mail. Whose e-mail will it send from when the flow gets triggered.

thanks for the informative video. how it affect the licensing if you change from a user to a Service Application ? Does it make as a Premium one. I mean how it different from Service Account.

I got the error stating "RetrievePrivilegeForUser: The user with id ************************ has not been assigned any roles. They need a role with the prvReadWorkflow privilege." Could you please assist what access is missing

[@anthonyleduc]

Ok but how to you manage the identity that are connected to each connectors . this video shows how to change the owner of each connector that is great but not enough

[@DanielWesterdale]

Really useful insight. Is there anything I should do to make a service principal slectable as the owner in a Power automate. I have added it as a App User in the enviroment , tried different API permissions and even created a custom App Role but so far I am getting "srv prin Flow owner" is not a user or team in you Microsoft Dataverse Organisation" error ?

Thank you so much for this. y did u create a app user account in AD and used in power automate? just regular service account is enough, right? just curious to know.

[@krishansharma4778]

App Service principal account gives multiple advantages over Service account
Like - 1) no license assignment is required 2) no additional maintenance required for password expired cases 3) work with limited permission , reduced chances of security breach and a way more secure than service account

@@krishansharma4778 Awesome! Thank you so much for a quick reply.

@@krishansharma4778 When I create the Service Principal, the connectors are still using my account though even when the SP is the flow owner. Is there a way to point the connectors elsewhere and/or will they fail if/when I leave my organization?

@@nickatworknj311 did you get the answer ? I am looking for the same info, If anyone could help here.

[@KIMBOproduction]

As far as I know, you have to share the connections with the Service Principal user. Then it should work when you leave the organization :)

Limitations to this is licensing. You cannot license the app user
