Hi, thanx for your replay.

Yes, workflow works correctly.

I did exactly as you described. First delete permission, than grant to employee and manager (in one step, in two steps - because in one step didn't worked), after step with approval I restored permission.

Lokks something like that:

If you worked in SharePoint Designer you got functionality as I described in my previous post?

Maybe my understanding is not correct?

I mean flow is running under your account.

You are site collection admin?

When you remove all permission then you remove your permission too.

Try to not remove all permissions – remove only the default user permission. Leave your permission.

But then flow I running into a failure.

 

In SharePoint Designer I got the functionality you need.

But there I can use special permission (site admin account) for the plumsail action.

 

Sorry, I don’t have enough experience with flow.

    Thank you once again:)

    Yes, I have admin rights to this site collection.

    I will try it once again, probably not only once:)

    I don't know how to remove only default permission. Maybe I'll contact with Plumsail, and hope they know how to solve it.

    Have a nice day.

    Regards
