If you are someone who has been asked to create Flows in Power Automate, and you go to Power Automate portal (https://make.powerautomate.com/) to make your first Flow in your environment, you may come across this if you are not an Administrator yet –

The error message would say -“You are not permitted to make flows in this ‘<EnvironmentName>’. Please switch to the default environment, or to one of your own environment(s), where you have maker permissions.“

Now, let’s see what the issue is about.

Environment Maker Permissions

As a Power Platform Administrator yourself, you’ll need to provide Environment Maker privileges (Security Role) to the affected User in your environment –

1. Navigate to the the Settings for the Environment in PPAC (https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/)
   And look for Security Roles in Access area –
   
   
2. Look for the Environment Maker role.
   
   
3. When in Environment Maker role, look for the Add People button on the top.
   
   
4. Now, search for the user who should have the Environment Maker permissions and click Add (which will be at the bottom of the pane).
   
   
5. Now, you’ll see that this user is added.
   
   
6. Now, when the User will refresh the Flow Editor, they’ll no longer see the error message and will be able to create/save Flows.
   

Hope this was useful!
