Business value
This feature allows Microsoft Power Platform to work in enterprise environments where service principals are used.
Feature details
Currently, you can't enable flows that service principals own because the connections that flows use can't be shared with service principals. As a workaround, makers use shared service accounts when they want more than one person to own a flow.
With this feature, connections can be shared with service principal accounts, allowing you to enable flows that service principal accounts own. To learn more, go to Change the owner of a cloud flow to a service principal application user.
