Helper IIButton to refresh dataset only working for me
I found the solution, you need to add the users you want to be able to run the flow to the "run" section, or make them owners. There are 2 ways to do this
Option 1: go to https://make.powerautomate.com/ and sign in.
click on "My flows" in the column on the left most side of the page
Check under all 3 flows tabs to find the flow you want to change, "Cloud flows", "Desktop flows", "Shared with me" -->(mine was under this one)On the right side of the page, after you've selected the flow, you should see "Owners" and also "Run only users"
Add the users that you want to be able to control this into either section. "Run only" is probably the one you want because then nobody can make changes, only run it. That should be all you have to do.
Option 2: In Power BI desktop, click on the button and click the "..." in the upper right, then click "edit"
Click on the flow you wish to change. This page will essentially be the same as going to powerautomate.com, and on the right-hand side you'll see the options to add owners and run-only users. Make your changes here and re-upload the whole BI to make sure it commits.
Any users you add will be sent an email that they've been added to the flow's permissions, they may have to click on the link in the email they get to verify their identity, which just involves them logging in. After all that, it should work.
