PowerApp and the user roles associated with a service account

Posted on by Abhinay Tharwal 1,244

Hi,

I hope you are having a good day.

We have created a PowerApp (which uses a flow and calls a data entity in D365FO) with a service account, created the connectors required with the service account credentials, added it to a form and published it to a user role.

When a the target users tried to test it, with system administrators rights the app worked fine, the moment we removed that role, the flow of fails at calling the data entity. Shouldn't it be using the service account's rights?

Thank you for your time!

With best regards,

Abhinay

    I had to split the flow into two, the first one until a record is created in the Dataverse and the second one would be triggered as soon as a record is created in the Dataverse table.

    This is because according to this document, Connector: Fin & Ops Apps (Dynamics 365) the connector for Fin & Ops is not sharable and the user-id of the user who is using the app/ flow is used for the connector.

    With best regards,

    Abhinay
