Changing Ownership / Logged in Account for Connections

I am switching jobs soon and I have been the primary owner and manager of a number of Power Automate flows. We have been working on changing all of the permissions over to my colleagues and I have a question and an observation/request. This applies to both the Survey123 and the ArcGIS connectors.

Would signing into an existing connection in the Environment as a different user work seamlessly for these transfers? Even if they don't own all the surveys/layers yet? What is the best practice here?

We went through and did each flow one by one to start just to make sure it would work, but in doing this the colleague who's taking it over created a new connection and just changed which one it is using. This wasn't as seamless because the specific survey seemed to need to be selected again.

This leads me to my request, when there are multiple Survey123 Connections in an environment, there is no way to rename them, or address who's credentials they use or any real distinguishing factor it seems. Can Esri please add more details to the connection name. I noticed for example, that the connections to the Outlook actions display the account that is signed in for it, this is very helpful.

Another annoyance I want to bring up, it seems when we changed the webhook to use another users connection, it resets some settings, for example, it turned off all of the "existing record edited" trigger event. This has been a major pain.

Hi @RobertAnderson3 ,

As far as switching user accounts, I would do this on a staging environment before doing this directly on a Production environment with working flows.

Regarding the ability to provide meaningful names to connections or renaming connections, this is a request that we have with Microsoft Power Automate. This is affecting all ISVs that are building custom Power Automate connectors.
