Dean, thanks for the reply,

>>Have you registered your account in the Flow site?

- I'm not sure what you mean - sorry for being a pain.

I am logged into Flow with my account.

I have permissions to the Site Collection.

I'll have a look around but if you can be a bit more explicit that would be a help.

Thanks,

Paul

There are a lot of moving parts and since this is still in Preview mode, some of the instructions seem to be incomplete. In my recent testing, i learned that my testers needed to be in the First Release program so that they could see Flow and PowerApps on the Command Bar in a new modern style list.

There is also a Power Apps and Flow License, that may need to be assigned, but I have not been able to confirm this.

For reasons that only MS can understand, there is another Community at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Flow-Community/ct-p/FlowCommunity which has a lot more activity than this space, i would recommend asking your question there and you should get some more responses.

Dean, thanks again.

No matter what I do I can't sign in to that other site - it keeps sending me around in circles :-(

I'm pretty sure I've got all the right licences, maybe my flow permissions need refreshing?

Anyway I'll battle on.

Thanks,
Paul

    Dean / Ian,
    
    I have found out what my problem is - our users are not able to grant consent to the application.

    I tried the same thing with a admin enabled account and it worked fine.
    
    I'm now talking to someone else in my team and trying to find out why this is switched off.
    
    It was confusing though because in the Flow screens it shows all of my connections with 'green ticks'.
    
    Thanks,
    Paul
