Ownership?
Hi Jleebiker
I've been tackling the same thinking too as I am the primary PowerApps and Power Automate engineer for my company and have been making things from my individual account.
I'm worried if my account were ever to be disabled or deleted, the Flows and PowerApps may go with it as my individual account is the owner.
I've read that for Power Automate, if it's shared (co-owners) then one of them will default to being the owner and apparantly to transfer ownership of a PowerApp you will need to log a ticket with Microsoft (https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/support/).
The other option I'm considering to transition my company wide flows and PowerApps to the new service account I have created, is to share my flows and PowerApps with the service account. I would then go into my service account and Save As the flows/PowerApps so that the service account now owns a copy of them.
From there I could disable the original flows in my own account as the new service account has taken over and then share access back to my individual account so I could work on the flows/PowerApps as normal (ownership issue resolved).
I may be overthinking this approach though I'd reckon it's a fairly quick process doing one flow/app at a time, and it will give my service account the control over the flows/apps moving forward.
I'm open to a better way to do this if anyone else has a better answer?
Cheers and best wishes

I hope so too but if not, then that workaround is my go-to for transitioning my work Jleebiker!

Guess there's one way to find out. "To the Cloud!" to test it... 😉 Damien_Rosario
