Hello All,

I have a scenario where I embedded a Power Apps Canvas app into a SharePoint site as a web part. I’ve shared the app with users, but many of them don't have a Power Apps license. Despite sharing the app, they are unable to view it. Can anyone confirm whether users need a Power Apps license to view and interact with an app embedded in SharePoint? Are there any specific licenses required for SharePoint site members to access the app, or can they view it without one?

I’m hoping to find a solution that doesn’t require giving a Power Apps license to all the SharePoint site members.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

HI @Kavee_Mendis

As @RobElliott said, yes they need one. Depending on the Office level you have, it very well may be included, if you are only using SharePoint as the data source.

So it is possible its OOB for you, but you will need to verify that. However, what Rob said is accurate.

Users without a power apps licence won't be able to play the app.
