Power Automate template only for tenant

We disabled citizen developers in our tenant so each time they use one of the Microsoft Lists templates with flow, the flow would fail. I'm wondering if I can create and save flows as templates us...

Tamras1972 it's been a while since I've imported a template but I believe you need to create new connections on import. Encoding credentials in a connection and making them reusable would be a bit risky I think.

SGBrum Thanks. That's what I was afraid of.

Jon_Lake I don't really know the reasoning behind that decision but Governance/Management decided only IT folks may create and manage flows.

  Tamras1972 well that goes against the whole ethos of the power platform. You can still have effective governance via the Power Platform COE Toolkit. But denying your staff the ability to create flows and, presumably, apps is a very strange decision. My career would have been very different over the last 6 years if my employers had done the same thing. And they wouldn't have saved the hundreds of thousands of dollars they have done in that time by replacing a lot of external development (not all, but a lot) with the Power Platform and citizen developers.
