Flow owners - any info on new option to 'Add a SharePoint list or library as owner'?

[Henning Strand]

I see now in my Flows that I have the option to 'Add a SharePoint list or library as owner', but that the documentation found behind the 'Learn more' link has nothing on it. So what does it really do when I associate the ownership to a list? Does it inherit the owners of the list, or does the list itself have to contain a people field for holding the names of owners, or... what?

Basically anyone that has full control to the list can have owner rights to the associated flow to that list.

Yep, it's just what Cris has said: when you add a list / document library as an owner, every user with edit access to the list will be able to edit the Flow. More info here: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/share-with-sharepoint-office-365/

Here is my blog post if you want to know more in detail about these options:

Basically, you can also now add the SharePoint list as owners. This means that users who have edit permissions on that list will automatically get owner access to this flow. This is an easy way to manage list flows as it helps you to easily share it with your team.
