I want to create a website, which is accessible only by the users of our organization. On this website our user must fill out a form, which updates data in a Dataverse table. I thought about using Power Pages, but I am not sure if it's suitable for that use case.
The docs say that Power Pages is for external-facing websites What is Power Pages? | Microsoft Learn:
Microsoft Power Pages is a secure, enterprise-grade, low-code software as a service (SaaS) platform for creating, hosting, and administering modern external-facing business websites.
What should I use for an internal-facing website scenario?
Thank you for the heads up
@bpw, that depends on what you want to do. I don't know your setup. If your data must be stored in Dataverse long term, you can create an automated flow which simply copies the SharePoint data to Dataverse as soon as a new item is created. But here you have to watch out, because this may be a multiplexing secenario, where you then still need to have premium licenses.

If you have more questions about this, you should open a new thread, because this is starting to be off-topic here.
Thanks. I’m going to use canvas with sharepoint then. But what do I do with the data in sharepoint afterwards? Delete them since it’s in dataverse ?
What if I use canvas app connected to sharepoint data source. Would users need power apps premium licensing ? I can use power automate to get the data and add rows in dataverse. I won’t really need the data in the list afterwards perhaps I can delete them after a week to keep the list from growing too much?
Thanks. We have 2000 users that just need to submit a form only. Why the higher number of users the cheaper it is in the volume plans for power page pricing?
@bpw, Power Pages has got it's own licencing model within the Power Platform.
You cannot access Power Pages with a free (Power Apps/Automate for Office 365) license. Internal users need a premium license (Power Apps per user, Dynamics 365, etc.).
Still internal users without a premium license should be subject to the Power Pages pricing plans as either authenticated or anonymous users of the Power Page (Power Pages Pricing | Microsoft Power Pages). So if you have a lot of users this would be cheaper than buying users a premium license, but not for "free".
