This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2025 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2025 Wave 1.
The 2nd of the new functionality in the Desktop flows section is use machine to credential mapping in desktop flow connections.
In many organizations, each machine must have a unique user session. This implies that they can’t use machine groups. A list of credentials allows them to use unique credentials for each of their machines. For organizations that want to use automations executed on agent machines, there’s no option to define mapping between machine(s) and agent(s). The list of credentials will allow an attended automation to the machine of the right agent.
Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically
Public Preview: Jan 2025
General Availability: Jun 2025
Feature Details
Allow customers to define lists of credentials and use them in the desktop flow connections. These lists allow customers to define which machine(s) can use these credentials. These lists can be used as login credentials in the desktop flow connections and will benefit from the same credential management feature, such as:
- Encryption and data protection
- Password rotation
- Application lifecycle management
During the public preview, only CyberArk credentials are supported for mapping.
