Require users to use their own connections

 Note

When you share a button, you can allow persons with whom you've shared the button to use all connections that your button uses. You can also require them to use their own connections. If you allow others to use your connections, they can't access the credentials in your connection, or reuse them in any other flow.

Follow these steps to require persons with whom you've shared your buttons to use their own connections.

1. Select MANAGE CONNECTIONS on the screen that's displayed immediately after you share a button.

2. Select EDIT on the button you want to manage.

3. Select Provided by user or your email address.

   Your choice indicates whose connections must be used in the shared button.

   

   You can view or change your choice any time. To do so, select the Flows tab > the flow you shared > Users and connections > the CONNECTIONS tab > EDIT on the button you want to manage.

   

View the list of button users

You can view all groups or users with whom a button is shared by following these steps from the Buttons tab:

1. Tap the small icon next to the button in which you're interested.

2. On the Button users page, view all groups or users with whom the button is shared.

   

Stop sharing a button

You can stop sharing a button by following these steps from the Buttons tab:

1. Tap the small icon next to the button you no longer want to share.

2. On the Button users page, tap the user or group with whom you want to stop sharing the button.

   

3. Tap Remove user when the user's page is displayed.

   

4. Wait for the remove operation to complete. Notice the Button users list refreshes, and the user or group you removed is no longer listed.

   

Monitor the run history

All run history, including the runs initiated by a person with whom a button is shared, appear only on the Activity tab of the button creator's Microsoft Flow mobile app.

Use shared buttons

Before you can run a button that someone has shared with you, you must add it to your Buttons tab from the Add buttons page.

2. Tap the button you want to use.

   The tapped button is immediately added to the Buttons tab of the Microsoft Flow app. You can then use the button from the Buttons tab, just like any other button that's listed there.

   

Re-share a button
