Yess @Community Alums  you can configure the flow to run by every user even the user with no role. Try below steps :-

  • Open the Flow Designer

    • Go to Flow Designer in ServiceNow.
    • Open your existing flow.
  • Set Flow Execution to Run as System User

    • Click on the Trigger of your flow (e.g., record-based trigger, scheduled trigger).
    • Look for the "Run As" option.
    • Select "System User".
    • This ensures that actions are executed with elevated permissions, bypassing ACL restrictions.
    • Test the Flow with a No-Role User

      • Log in with a user who has no roles.
      • Trigger the flow (e.g., by submitting a request).
      • Verify that the request, RITM, and catalog task are created successfully.

@SamrudhiK ,
You mentioned below steps , but in flow designer trigger we do not have "Run as" option.

Set Flow Execution to Run as System User

  • Click on the Trigger of your flow (e.g., record-based trigger, scheduled trigger).
  • Look for the "Run As" option.
  • Select "System User".
  • This ensures that actions are executed with elevated permissions, bypassing ACL restrictions.

@Community Alums 

Flow can either run with System or User who initiates the session

Since you are not allowed to play with ACL then Keep Run as - System User.

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.
