Minimum Power Apps License Required for Users Accessing a PowerApp

(1) Share

Report

Posted on by MA-27110721-0

I have built a Power Apps canvas app that uses SharePoint Online lists, libraries and a one drive file as data sources. The app also triggers Power Automate flows from Power Apps buttons (instant flows).

My requirement is to allow end users to access and use the app, including running the associated Power Automate flows.

My questions are:

Do I need to assign a Power Apps license to each end user who accesses this app?

If yes, what is the minimum license required for these users to meet this requirement?

Does triggering Power Automate flows from Power Apps introduce any additional licensing requirements for the users?

Assume that:

Only standard connectors (SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate) are used

No Dataverse or premium connectors are involved

Looking for clarity on the minimum licensing model needed for app users.

@MA-27110721-0,

What is the minimum license required for your end users?

If you or your end user having any Microsoft 365 license that includes Power Apps seeded access.

This will applicable only for the standard connectors (i.e., No Premium Components Involved).

Hi @MA-27110721-0,

Here what your end users need license wise:

For the canvas app

Power Apps for Microsoft 365 – This is included (seeded) with eligible Microsoft 365 plans and lets users run the canvas app with standard connectors like SharePoint and OneDrive.

For triggering the instant flow:

Power Apps Premium (or a qualifying Dynamics 365 license) – Each user who triggers the instant flow from Power Apps needs this.

Hope this clears things up!
