Hi ErikSummer​ 

It sounds more like the link is incorrect.

If the user does not have access, a “access denied” error message will appear.

Check the link you are sending to the user.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for getting back to me. However, the link is fine as it works for other people. The user cannot see this item even when he views the list itself. He can only see a few of the other items.

    In the meantime, I have had an additional observation: Once I assign "Full control" at the item level, the access works (including via the link). It does not work with "Edit", "Contribute" or "Read" which I all checked.

    I also noticed that the flow is running on the account of a colleague who is not an owner of the list. Not sure if this has something to do with it.

    Best,

    Erik
