You can share desktop flow connections with a pipeline SPN, enabling seamless import of managed solutions using Power Platform pipelines. This feature simplifies the deployment process and enhances productivity.
Feature details
This feature allows you to share desktop flow connections with a Pipeline SPN, which is essential for customers using pipelines.
- Create desktop flow connections with a service principal as the run owner (by default, the run owner is the connection owner).
- Share the connection with the pipeline SPN.
- The pipeline exports the solution as the owner of all records of the managed solution.
- The Pipeline SPN imports the solution into the production environment, maintaining the mapping between connection reference and connection ID.
