This is how I set up the flow to assign security roles Assign/Remove Security Roles to Users Via Power Automate – The Techie dood (wordpress.com)
But I want to assign those security roles at Business Unit level and not at Organization level.

What do you mean by Business Unit level and not at Organization level? In the given flow they are just assigning the roles to a user that is it. they are not defining any entity level permissions..

Maybe I formulated wrong my question.

If you go to the admin center at user settings, select any user and edit it, there you have multiple sections:

One of them is called Organization Information, and below, you have the Business Unit name the user is part of , and a button that states "change business unit" .

I noticed that the flow does not assign the roles to that business unit the user is part of.

For example: user is part of BusinessUnit1, I assign the role Basic User through the flow.

Now, if I go to in the admin center and check the security role, I can see that he has that role assigned, but if I were to click manage roles, the Basic User role won`t appear as assigned on that windows, and it gives me the option of assigning it again, meaning the user will now have 2 Basic User roles.

The role assigned manually through manage roles is for the BusinessUnit1, and the first role assigned by the flow is for the whole Organization/All BusinessUnits, meaning the user gets access to content that he shouldn`t get.

I can`t upload any images here, cus it would`ve been easier to understand.

Update:

So the flow assigns the Security Roles for the Parent Business Unit only,

If I were to change the parent business unit for a user to another business unit, the flow will not assign those security roles to that business unit.
