Flow - System Account?
Hi,
Unfortunately it´s requiring a license but Flow-license is free to use.
If you don´t want it to be on your account you need to have a licensed system-account.
It also depends on what you want to do, if you need to have connections towards sharepoint, mail etc you´ll also need a license for Exchange, sharepoint etc.
Question- We have a Flow that sends outbound emails using the account of the user who created the flow. What would happen if the person leaves the organization, how will the outbound emails o when the mailbox is no longer active? I know that in the 'Send Email' action a "From" account can be specified for sending an email, but is it a good practice to do so or should we have a dedicated account(with an attached mailbox) for flows?
The information I am seeking-
1. In terms of best practice, should we be creating a dedicated service account for flows? If yes, should the flows created by users be shared with this service account so they can be managed using one account?
2. What license should be assigned to the service account, E3 or E5?
3. Should this account be assigned the global admin privileges?
Thank you.
