Power Platform – Information about preventing errors and stub user records during data import workflows

Originally posted by Microsoft Mar 13, 2024 Uncategorized 0 Comments

To prevent errors and the creation of stub user records during data import workflows, please follow the steps outlined below prior to running any data import workflows.

What steps should I perform prior to running a data import workflow?

1. Create the user records in Microsoft Entra before starting your data import process.
2. Sync the user(s) from Microsoft Entra into the environment(s) where you intend to perform the data import. You can perform this sync using any of the following methods:
• Adding a security group to the environment
• Adding the user manually in the environment
• Using PowerShell scripts to add the user to the environment
• Leveraging Force sync in Power Automate flows
3. Once the system syncs the user(s) into the environment, run your data import workflows.

Please note, to reassign records from a stub user to another user, you can use the Add-BulkRecordsToUsers command.
