Specifically, what this means is that for all the connections used in a button flow, user will have two options &#8211;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Provide your own connection to be used with the flow<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Ask the run-only user to provide the connection to be used with the flow<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at an example scenario to create a button flow \u2013 which can simplify the bug filing process for new features being released by our team.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>The button first needs to be configured to capture the <strong><em>bug title<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>bug description.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BTS_1.png\"\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Next, let\u2019s add an action to file a bug in Visual Studio Team Services<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BTS_2.png\"\/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Finally, add a step to send a confirmation email to the person who filed the bug.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/BTS_3.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In order for this scenario to work, we would like the person invoking the button flow to provide their connection (credentials) to VSO. It would be far from ideal for the owner for the flow to be marked as the creator of all the bugs. With the new feature, we can now configure the invoker to provide the VSO connection, to do this first save your flow and navigate to the properties page.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Click on <strong><em>Add

connection, if you want the confirmation email to be sent using your own account.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a run-only user invokes a button flow they will be asked to provide their own Visual Studio Team Services connection, after which they can use the button to file bugs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"
