Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi,

We are using PBI Embedded as visualization tool and users external users can log-in through single-sign-on.

This works fine and users can consume dashboards online.

Now we would like to make the PBI environment dynamic by using Power Apps as method to input information into a PostGreSql database which operates in an 'as a service' model.

We could set-up the whole system and it works perfect for our internal employees.

For external users that are not within our AD it doesn't work, as we get the message 'can't find app'.

We think it's because the external users don't have a power-apps license.

Now we cannot use each external user to buy a license, so we were wondering if we can buy ourselves licenses per user and attribute these to external users.

We are trying to this already for some time, but without success.

Any ideas how to get this done?

Thx,

Bert

Hello, @Tsjaikovski Azure AD, enable B2B external collaboration for the tenant. More information: Enable B2B external collaboration and manage who can invite guests.

Then you can grant access to your PowerApps, here are the steps to do that:

Considerations and limitations for guest access

Guests can be assigned the User role or Co-owner role for apps shared with them. However, guests can't edit apps currently. More information: Power Apps support for B2B guest maker (preview).
Power Apps guest access uses Azure B2B.
Power Apps Mobile doesn't support authentication using Azure AD direct federation. More information: Sign in using Power Apps Mobile
Power Apps per app plans are scoped to apps in a specific environment, so they can't be recognized across tenants.

Power Apps included with Office and Power Apps per user plans have the following characteristics:

In the Azure public cloud, they're recognized across tenants in guest scenarios because they aren't bound to a specific environment.
In Azure national or sovereign clouds, they're recognized across tenants in guest scenarios. More information: National clouds, Azure geographies

Licenses are not recognized across tenants in difference Azure clouds.
