Error when running a flow from a Power App

For a customer I have developed a Power App solution. In the Power App a Power Automate flow is called via MyFlow.Run(). The users in the customer tenant get the following message when the flow is triggered: "Principal with id <principal-id> does not have ReadAccess right(s) for record with id <record-id> of entity workflow." (see uploaded image)

I am confused, because in my company tenant where I developed the app I don't get such an error

AND

when I try it with another user in the customer tenant where I have access to there is no problem either. I give the user the same license and the same right to use the app and when I run the app with this user everything works fine. What could be the problem?

Furthermore, what does the "principal id" mean? I would have thought that would be the id of the user of the app where it fails. But it is not the id.

Hi @tnickel 

 

Verify that you have permission on that table at the security role level. Likewise, check if the table exists or has the same name

Do you mean in the Power Platform Admin Center (admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com)? Because that is the point: The user I am trying with has the same security roles as the users where the error occurs (see image).

Hi @tnickel 

 

check the connection string because what the flow says is that the user does not have permission

Where do I check it? And what exactly do I have to check?

Thanks for your help and excuse me, it is my first project in Power Platform. I am not very experienced.

Hi @Jmanriquerios

And now?

Do I have to set up something in the "Run only users" section of the flow?

So far "Provided by run-only user" was set here.

I have set it to "Use this connection", but that didn't help

Or do I have to "invite the Sharepoint list"?

Hi @tnickel 

Check if the user has permission in the sharepoint list that is executing the flow

The connection string must be associated with the environment user

The Sharepoint list is in a Sharepoint Website. I have added the users as members to the group

"The connection string must be associated with the environment user" - so do you mean "Provided by run-only user"?

I now created a whole new user and now I can reproduce it.

What I found out now: If I share the flow with the user, it works.

tnickel_1-1711527038932.png

But I don't want to share the flow with everyone who uses the app. I would assume that if I set the "Connections Used" to "This connection (...)" that the flow runs in context of this connection which is established and it should work. What is my mistake here?
