Power Automate - automatic flow for all users

Hi!

I work for a charity with just over 50 employees and last year we moved to Dynamics 365. We’ve finally got comfortable with the system and are now looking for ways to be more efficient. I’ve just started looking into Power Automate and have created a basic flow, but I found that I was unable to make it fully automated for all users of the system without giving them all ownership of the flow itself. Is there any way to set up a fully automated flow that will run for everyone, without allowing all users to edit it?

Thank you!

Hi Liam,

We’ve seen this before. Instead of giving every user ownership, you can use a service account to own the flow and then give others just run access. Another cleaner way is to use solution-aware flows, so the automation runs under the environment connection, not tied to each person.

We set this up for a client, and it worked well; it might work for you, too, depending on your setup.

Feel free to reach me at hardik.gupta@allgrowtech.com if you’d like to discuss more.

what’s an example of a trigger you’re using?

could you clarify whether your flow is connected to personal user triggers (like “When a record is created by a specific user”) or if it’s meant to run based on system-wide events in Dynamics 365?
