Best practices for Power Automate with service account
Hi Mathew Carter. You can try this one strategy:
1) Setup a Service Account and assign it an O365 License
2) Create new Flows or import existing Flows into the Service Account
3) Share the Flows with the Authors (so they can update the Flows from their own account but it continues to run as the Service Account)
4) email will come from the Service Accounts email address

LAA-IT Re-authentication is proving troublesome for us too. Does anyone have a solution for this other than disabling MFA and/or password changing policies?
- MFA on the service account is still an issue. We had to remove MFA from this account. When the token expires, the flows don't run, need re-authentication and it was a complete mess. Other solutions are overly convoluted. MS fails to properly address this yet again.
MyoPig Our service account has now the message that we only have 14 days left to register MFA for the service account. Microsoft is forcing also service accounts to use MFA. This will hamper all our flows, which we all added to the service account. How can we bypass the need for MFA? Or how can we get our flows keep on working after MFA is introduced also for the service account? Any solutions?
