Is there a way to submit New SharePoint forms anonymously?
Unfortunately the Power app records who created the form submission and puts that in the list. I had hoped it would show the Power automate owner as the creator. The submitter needs access to the list as well, which I don't want. Even if I don't connect the Power App to the list, the Power Automate flow fails if the submitter can't access the final list. It's really frustrating.
I wouldn't be having this issue if I could add a people picker to an MS form. I need the user to be able to select email addresses from our organisation, but submit the form anonymously. It's really frustrating.
Not in you use Secure input, also you can run it in the context of the service account. Which makes it 100% anonymous.
I use it as our whistleblower for multiple european goverment agancies and it's been vetted as secure and anonymous
I'm so curious about what you actually mean by this. I've tried all sorts of ways and nothing is working.
That doesn't work either. I thought it did because I set up a separate flow to override the Created by field.
In my Power Automate flow, I went to the "Create item" action and clicked on Settings. Then under "Security" selected "Secure outputs". It then saves the item to the list using the service account as the Created by instead of the submitter.
It only hides the reponder's details in the flow, but still inputs the responder as the created by in the list.
I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2-NlFJrAL8&list=PL6N4XHpWJCJYeiR2uxE7uaHv98whDhQyC to change the created by, but that's not going to work either because the original submitter is saved int the version history.
This is such a faff.
