"For a selected file" manual flow which get run from sharepoint list view, is not showing a popup for users

[johnjohnPter]

I have created a manual flow of type "For a selected file" >>

then i define a custom column inside my sharepoint list view to call the flow, with this format for the custom column:-

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "button",
  "customRowAction": {
    "action": "executeFlow",
    "actionParams": "{\"id\": \"aecc54fd-0f49-4619-b9b8-d5ca861282f1\"}"
  },
  "attributes": {
    "class": "ms-fontColor-themePrimary ms-fontColor-themeDarker--hover"
  },
  "style": {
    "border": "none",
    "background-color": "transparent",
    "cursor": "pointer"
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "span",
      "attributes": {
        "iconName": "Cut"
      },
      "style": {
        "padding-right": "16px"
      }
    }
  ]
}

now using the flow creator user when i click on the icon:-

i will get a popup to call the flow:-

but for other users when they click on the icon no popup will be shown, any advice?

I have the flow as part of a solution inside the Default environment.

Thanks

Hi @johnjohnPter ,

Have you shared the flow with users?

@v-xiaochen-msft Why i need to do so? i usually create manual flows that get called from power apps, without having to explicitly share them with the users , as long as the users have the permission to call flows inside the environment... and all users have this permission since i am using the Default environment, am i missing something?

now seems sharing the flow with the user fixed the issue, but i am not sure why i need to do so? as usually i create manual flows and users can call those flows from power apps without having to explicitly share the flows with the users, as long as the users have the permission to run workflow inside the environment.. any advice?

Thanks

Hi @johnjohnPter ,

If you use the powerapps trigger for your flow, there's no need to share it explicitly.

But if I remember correctly, if the user uses the flow with the 'for a selected item' trigger, you need to share the flow with the user in advance.

Can you try to share it?

@v-xiaochen-msft yes sharing the flow with the user fixed the problem, but i was asking why i need to do this.Thanks
