We have a flow. It only contains only 3 steps which are update Request , Update RITM and Create catalog task.

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.
