As you fellow SharePoint gurus already know, SharePoint 2010 Workflows will be retired this year. This of course also means that we will eventually lose the all important 'Replace List Item Permissions' action in SharePoint Designer, which essentially gave us the ability to implement automated item-level permissions for a SharePoint library or list. I recently took the time over a weekend to evaluate any good alternative (non 3rd party) solutions that I could think of, and it appears that Power Automate is now the best way to go. However, there is one drawback to this new approach -- you can only assign Edit or Read level permissions to any given item in a SharePoint library or list.
1. Go to the Power Automate site, which at the time of this article is located at https://us.flow.microsoft.com/en-us. Be sure to login.
2. Create a new automated blank flow using the 'When an item is created' SharePoint trigger.
3. Add the remaining logic as shown in the screenshot below.
NOTES: 1) The ID is available in the dynamic content section that appears once you click inside the 'Id' field in your flow. 2) I also used the dynamic content section for the Recipients, but you can manually type in email addresses as long as you separate them with a semicolon.
