Microsoft adds tenant inventory that shows which connectors each Power Automate flow uses
Reviewed by Helen Jones
Microsoft’s Power Platform inventory gives tenant administrators a single place to see agents, apps, and cloud flows across the organisation. Under Manage > Inventory, including a Power Automate Flow Inventory tab, admins can search, filter, and sort resources and export results to Excel. A connector inventory feature in preview lists the connectors and operations each resource uses, including the trigger connector and operation for flows. Resources show up within about 15 minutes of create, update, or delete. The same data can be queried through the Power Platform for Admins V2 connector, an inventory API, and Azure Resource Graph. Limits still apply. Connector inventory is preview. UI search only covers currently loaded results (up to 1,000). For cloud flows the Owner column shows the creator and does not refresh when ownership changes. The feature is not available in sovereign clouds.
Until now, finding every flow that used a Premium connector, a fragile SharePoint trigger, or a connection still tied to someone who left usually meant hunting environments, run history, and shared connections by hand. Makers who own departmental approvals and notifications often discovered those problems only after a silent failure or a licence surprise. Inventory turns that scavenger hunt into a filterable list admins can export. That helps scope DLP rules, spot Premium adoption, plan for connector deprecations, and locate orphaned flows faster. The catch for reliability-minded builders is the owner column: if it still names the original creator after a handover, the inventory can look tidy while the real support risk remains hidden.
Analysis
Treat this as a governance aid you ask for, not a new builder feature to learn first. Before the next onboarding, approval, or Premium-connector request, ask your admin for an Excel export of flows in your area filtered by connector and owner, then cross-check that list against who actually maintains each flow and which shared connections they still use.
