        I guess I’m so used to thinking in code, and power automate seems hell-bent on being aimed at More business oriented folks. I find it extremely unintuitive, and downright hostile in terms of actually getting something done that I know how to do, but I’m not allowed to.

          100%. Power automate doing anything other than the templates they have is almost always harder than just writing python

            I think you nailed it. Why as a developer admin in a corporation one would use powerautomate? At my last job I had to, as I dodnt have machines to physically run some tools and automation my team needed, or access to higher level stuff but that sounds to me like an Oracle sysadmin complaining that Access is a pain in the ass, just don’t use it…

          That’s why I use Powershell with the Graph API module. Of course running scripts is probably disabled for non admins.

        Power automate has so much potential and promise, but it just sucks to implement anything more than built in templates.

          Hardly an end user problem though? I’m used to get it through corporate deals at work and in an organisation I volunteer for. Slightly different setups and access to tools but not through end of the world
