Flow Credentials: Best Practices?
I am just getting started with Flow and I want to try to do things with best practices in mind from the beginning. I would like to create a flow on a Sharepoint list which of course requires credenti...
Good question. Did you ever get it answer?
I didn't get an answer but we discussed it internally and decided the best option for us was to make a service account with a non-expiring password. I haven't had a chance to test this extensively yet but I'm also going to check out the team flows mentioned in this thread.
I think that's the best bet, just to be on the safe side...... for now. In a production environment, you don't want to be messing with accounts, etc. That said, I'm very impressed with Flow and how it's worked so far. With a little elbow grease and some time to figure it out, it's really useful and works well (and it's fast). There's a lot of flexibility built in that's not obvious right away.
That said, I'd love to see more documentation and examples. I know I can do quite a lot but I don't know HOW without extensive searching around sometimes. That's life with new services though, especially something as robust as Flow.
I'd love to know this too. I have a couple flows setup where previously we would have used a sharepoint designer workflow or even a service account. So far....................... they haven't choked because they've needed reathentication, but I've been waiting for that to possibly pop up.
