Licens. Who need?

I did a flow for another team that collects answers from ms forms and completes a wordonline document template after the answer is given. Flow requires a premium license. Who should have a premium license? Me, the other team, or anyone who completes the forms?

    Hi @KarolZareba1 ,

     

    The flow requires a premium license to use the "Populate a Microsoft Word template".

     

    Many people advocate the use of a dedicated account in Microsoft 365 to be used to create and run the Power Automate flows. This is called a service account. You would assign your premium license (eg. Power Automate per user plan) to your service account. So instead of using your personal account to create flows, you would login and use the service account.

     

    See: How to use service accounts in Power Automate flows and avoid common pitfalls – NateChamberlain.com

    Thank you! The service account is fine and I will do it this way.

    Hi @KarolZareba1 ,

     

    Take a look at the following post where you can fill out a Microsoft Word form without using a Premium license:

    This may not suit your situation and problem but it's worth knowing about.
