Move a file to a folder in the same library without read permission

How do I move a file in a Sharepoint Online library to a folder in the same library using a Power Automate flow, but without the user having access to the destination folder?

spena1611 To move files from one folder to another folder, you will need Edit/Full Control permissions on source folder and Contribute or higher permissions on destination folder.

 

You can create app registration as mentioned by kalpeshvaghela below. However, it might be a overkill sometimes for just single requirement of moving files. So, try to run the flow using Site Collection Administrator (SCA) account in SharePoint site (if you can get it) or request at least Full control access on library for your account temporarily from IT/admin team.
