The new Credentials page (preview) in Power Automate allows you to create, edit, and share login credentials using Azure Key Vault and use them in desktop flow connections.

Credentials use secrets stored in Azure Key Vault. To allow you to create credentials, your administrator needs to configure Azure Key Vault first. In a nutshell, admin needs to ensure:

1. Microsoft Power Platform resource provider is registered in Azure subscription
2. There is an Azure Key Vault that contains the secrets to be used in the credentials.
3. Dataverse service principal has permissions to use the secrets
4. Users who create the environment variable have appropriate permissions to the Azure Key Vault resource.
5. The Power Automate environment and the Azure subscription must be on the same tenant
