PowerApps: Missing Portal creation button

(0) Share

Posted on by HoPe-CH

I'm new to PowerApps and running on the Community Plan to explore the possibilitites.

Now: App development (canvas/model) is OK, but I can't create a Power Apps Trial "Portal" so far, because the Button is missing (see attachment). Any idea?

Thanks in advance;-)

The Power Apps Portal has different licensing than Power Apps, so its not covered by the Community plan.

Hi folks, Thanks so far for your replies!
Portals are generally available, right? So no dependencies from location?

@HoPe-CH ,

I don't think there is any location constraint. I didn't even noticed that mentioned in documentation so far.

Hi @Bilakanti , so I have a 365 Business Premium, Power Apps Plan 2 Trial, Power Automate Free and Power BI free in my subscritions in 365 admin center. Do you have different ones?

@HoPe-CH

Portals have a dependency on Dataverse. Therefore, if you've subscribed to the community plan, but have not provisioned a database (by clicking the data menu item from the left hand navigation menu), that would be one reason why you can't create a portal.

To test this further, can you confirm that you're able to succesfully create a model driven app from the menu item in the screenshot that you posted?

Hi @timl , Yes - I can confirm, that the creation of model driven apps is possible and successful. So, Dataverse seems to be up and running.

Hi @HoPe-CH

Can you confirm - is the new portal option also missing in the 'New app' menu item?

Also, what geographic region are you based in?

Hi @timl - I can confirm, that the portal option is mssing in the New-Menu as well

When searching for "Portal", I get the option. But clicking on it has no effect at all

In the meantine I think about, that my Business Plan is blocking this feature. Referring to @Bilakanti , where in his environment the option is there without any other subscritption beside the Community Plan.
