Any equivalent to SP2010's "Impersonation Step" in PowerApps/Flow?

In our SP2010 environment, we have an "application" that allows users to self-register for trainings and workshops. This works by having two lists: (1) the "Sessions" list and (2) the "Signups" list....

Your understanding is correct. 

 

Unfortunately, for the second part (run in arbitrary context per action), this isn't something we support today but we'll consider it for the future.

Stephen Siciliano, so the only way to have control over whose credentials are used for the connections would be to use manually-triggered Flows? Are Flows initiated from a PowerApp (e.g.: via a "Submit for Approval" button) considered "manually-triggered"?

    That's correct. At this time PowerApps triggered flows don't use the same capabilities as button flows (aka manually triggered).
