Focus: The focus of this public FAQ/Self Help guide is to provide you an overview and details for Cliently Flows and how to allow or restrict access to your flows.

Why enable private flows?: If you want to limit the access of your flows. If you set a flow to private, other users in your workspace with Manager or Team Member permissions will not have access to use or edit your flow.

Who has access to Private flows: 

  1. Owners and Admins will still have access to view and edit in Global View.  

  2. Owners and Admins will have access to use all flows even if private for individual view as well.  

  3. Managers and Team Members will only have access to their own flows, or others if Shared, otherwise will not show for them.
