Security context for Flows

Iron Contributor

When you create a new Flow and select the first action which connects to SharePoint it creates a connection before you can select lists, etc. 

 

My question is, under what security context will Flows execute when other users perform an action that triggers a Flow? 

 

My concern is that if you have say Administrator1 create all the original Flows and at some point leaves the organization and the account has to be disabled/removed. What happens to all the flows that were connected to that account?

Hi

 

This got updated in approx April time so that you can assign multiple owners to a flow to avoid this issue.

Yeah I read about Team Flows. Are you saying this is the suggested and best solution? Pehaps the only solution? 

Yes on all accounts

Makes a good case for creating a generic role-based user account and doing this kind of work while logged in as that user (e.g. AppsNFlow@<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com)
