Flow User Checkbox vs Run Flows in Salesforce

As a Salesforce administrator, I created a flow that allows employees to request leave through a screen flow in Salesforce. I add the flow to a button on the Employee record page.

However, whenever the user clicked the button to apply the leave, they received an error. Additionally, when some users navigated to the flow to create a New one, they were unable to select the option to create a new one, but they were still able to apply leave.

This is because we need to grant specific flow permissions to the user from the user profile or the permission set, specifically the ‘Flow User’ and ‘Run Flows’ permissions.

In this article, we will learn about the difference between the Flow User checkbox and Run Flows in Salesforce. Additionally, I will explain how to grant permission to a user to create and run a flow in Salesforce, using a real-time scenario and a step-by-step explanation.
