Environment Management Tool Streamlines App and Flow Ownership for Manufacturing Client
A manufacturing client needed a fast, reliable way to manage user access across their Power Platform environments. Manually updating ownership for dozens of apps and flows was time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to oversight. To simplify administration and reduce operational friction, they partnered with IncWorx to implement Power Platform ownership automation and streamline the entire ownership assignment process.
Technologies Supported
- Power Automate
- Power Apps
- Power Platform Environment APIs
The Challenge
Manual Permission Management No Longer Scaled
As the client’s environments expanded, so did the volume of Power Apps and Power Automate flows that required clear, consistent ownership. Each time a user changed roles or a new team member needed access, administrators were forced to update permissions one asset at a time, a process that quickly became unmanageable at scale.
They needed a way to grant edit rights across an entire environment instantly, without relying on manual updates or risking overlooked apps and flows. The goal was simple: ensure every asset had the right owners at the right time, with zero administrative bottlenecks.
The Solution
Automating Ownership Across the Entire Environment
IncWorx created a “Take Ownership” solution, built using both Power Automate and Power Apps, to eliminate the manual effort of assigning ownership. The process starts when a user enters an environment ID. From there, the automated flow retrieves the user’s details, identifies every Power Automate flow in that environment, and updates each one to include the user as an owner.
The system then scans all Power Apps in the same environment and checks existing permissions. If the user isn’t already listed as an owner, the tool automatically grants them editing rights. This delivers a fully automated, end‑to‑end access management process that ensures complete coverage, consistent ownership, and zero administrative overhead.
This approach allowed the client to replace manual updates with a fully automated, scalable owenership process. It reduced errors, eliminated administrative overhead, and kept every asset aligned with organizational needs.
The Outcome
A Scalable, Reliable Approach to Access Management
The client now has a streamlined, scalable way to manage user access across all Power Platform assets. Administrators save significant time, new team members receive the access they need instantly, and the risk of missed or inconsistent permissions has been completely removed.
This automated approach strengthens governance, improves accuracy, and supports the client’s expanding digital operations. With ownership updates handled end‑to‑end, the organization can focus on innovation rather than manual administration.
The Conclusion
Delivering Lasting Efficiency and Governance
By automating ownership assignment across Power Apps and Power Automate flows, the client gained a faster, more reliable way to manage access in their growing Power Platform environment. What was once a manual, error‑prone process is now a streamlined workflow that ensures every asset has the right owners at the right time.
The Environment Management Tool delivered exactly what the organization needed: consistency, scalability, and confidence in their governance model. With administrative friction removed, the client can continue expanding their digital capabilities while maintaining full control over access and ownership
