I stand corrected. I had not seen that change.

That's not the case since April 2019

External Guest users aren't supposed to be able to be Approvers in a Power Automate flow. To be an approver you need to be an internal user.

I found a use case for this.

If you use Power Automate flows that send Approvals requests via the Approval app to "Guest" users, they get an error that they need a Power Automate license. Assigning this free license solves that problem.

I don't have a Power Automate Premium Trial in my tenant right now, but it should be listed as Power Automate trial. But remember that a Power Apps Premium trial will give you access to Premium connectors in Power Automate as well.

Ok that helps thanks.

If we did have the Powr Automate trial license what would it be called in the licensing in M365? I don't see anything so as you say we don't have it, but the best way to confirm that is to know what it would be!

They probably have a Trial for Power Apps, which also gives you the ability to use Premium connectors in Power Automate if they are related to the data source you are using for a Power app. There is also a Per user trial for Power Automate. But you don't seem to have that one.

Yes if you have an Office 365 license then you will get a Power Automate Free license automatically. But it is not a Trial and it does not expire. Its the license that covers Microsoft's internal use of Power Automate for things like Approvals. I'm not sure why your tenant is reporting it as a trial, but it does not expire.

Additionally, if you did have an Automate Trial assigned to a user, what is it called in M365 Admin licensing? I don't see anything other than the Automate Free, and Power Apps Plan 2 Trial.
