I tried to approve a time entry for a task via Power Automate but I get an error that says

You are not a valid approver for: ab868a5e-b2f6-eb11-94ef-000d3a2bf0bd.

The user is also a project approver for the project. i.e the Project Approver is set to Yes for the user

    Hi,

    On Time Entries, there is a Manager field. If this is a non-project related Time Entry, then your user needs to be selected in the Manager field to make sure you can approve the Time Entry. 

    You can refer to this post:

    Error: You are not a valid approver for one or more selected entries. - Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation Forum Community Forum

    If this helped you, I'd appreciate it if you'd mark this as a Verified Answer, which may in turn help others as well.

    Best Regards,

    I have done that but the issue still persists. The sad thing is, I can approve time entry but other admins cannot. I am quite confused.

    Jide Bantale I'd recommend to double check your cloud flow to verify the user in whose context the project approval action takes place. That's the usual culprit in a cloud flow. For example, if you're executing the action in the flow as a service principal, you'll get that error.

    "The connection reference used in the Flow’s update record action will define the user in whose context the approval will happen."
