Any equivalent to SP2010's "Impersonation Step" in PowerApps/Flow?
I'm having the same dilemma, I also want to be able to have emails sent from Flow to come from the site and not from me, but it keeps saying I can't do that.
MicrosoftIt is possible to send an email from the Microsoft Flow system account. Likewise, if you are given delegate permissions in Exchange to send on behalf of another user, you can configure your flow to do that. Third, you can set up a Shared Mailbox in your tenant to send the email (if you don't want to use a person's email but also want the email to come from your tenant not from "Microsoft Flow"). I hope this helps!
- Stephen, we are talking here about how to act on behalf of a user in Flow...
- Stephen, how about the original question? Can a Flow be configured to use the permissions of the author as opposed to those of the user executing it?
If not, how would you approach the problem described in the original post? To summarize, I don't want to give users edit permission to a list, but want them to use a PowerApp/Flow to modify items in that list. Thanks Stephen,
Can you let me know what the flow system account is called so I can use it.
I am also still interested in how do impersonate as well as this is something that was very useful in SharePoint designer.
Cheers
Stephen
