You could also use a different user in the Connection in Flow, so that it appears as a service account for example. This way it won't show as you being the poster.

This is an interesting suggestion.
Can I have multiple connections with Flow? or, can one of my Flows use a specific connection/user? and my other Flows continue to use my account?
I am not an admin, so I would need to convince my IT team to create a service account user with all the rights and perms needed for what my flow needs to touch. Would this also eat a use license for O365? If so it makes justification harder if there is additional costs.
