I have created a flow that when a field in a table is updated, its value is copied and another field is updated.
This flow needs to be executed as a user with a specific role.
Therefore, I have set the Flow Properties as shown in the attached image. (see image)
However, when I test the flow, I get the following error
”The requested flow operation was prohibited by security rules.”
The user who executed the flow is free to update records outside of the flow.
Does anyone know the cause?

Hi Koki,
change the flow to Run As "System".
Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.
Thanks,

I know that changing "Run As" to "System User" works fine.
But what I want to accomplish is to run the flow as a user with the "x_540069_sn21.passwdCanRead" role.

Hi,
By the look of it, I would say that that role has insufficient rights.
Check your ACLs, and make sure that that role has enough rights. *
Maybe you can impersonate a user that has only that role, and see if that user can perform the same actions.
Since the role is called "...CanRead" it does not have access to write to the table?
You stated that the Flow updates a value, so the role must have write access, both on table level and possibly also on field level.
