I have developed an application in power apps, my question is there a work around so that an external user can access the application without Microsoft license using power pages.
Power Pages provides the capability to develop public-facing websites that integrate with Dataverse and leverage Power Apps logic. This platform enables organisations to share elements of their applications with external users without necessitating a Microsoft account or license. Key Steps:
Expose application logic through Dataverse tables or Power Automate flows.
Establish a Power Pages site connected to the relevant tables or flows.
Implement Web Forms, Lists, or custom JavaScript for backend interaction.
Configure Table Permissions appropriately to authorise data read/write access for anonymous or authenticated external users.
--- 🔐 Authentication Options for External Users External users have several options for accessing the site:
Anonymous access (no login required).
Registration via local authentication (email and password).
Utilisation of Azure AD B2C or alternative identity providers (such as Google or Facebook).
This approach eliminates the requirement for a Microsoft 365 license for external participants. --- ⚠️ Limitations
External users are unable to access the Power Apps canvas app directly unless they possess the appropriate license.
The user interface must be redeveloped within Power Pages to replicate or disclose canvas app functionality.
Certain advanced functionalities, including embedded canvas apps, are subject to limitations within Power Pages.
