PowerApp converting itself to premium when I attempt to publish it

Posted on by 6

So I have an extremely frustrating issue with a simple PowerApp I'm in the middle of developing.  I have 2 data sources one 'AAD Users' which I use to lookup an Azure user, and a sharepoint list, plus a simple flow which takes the output from some text boxes in my App and puts them into the same sharepoint list above.

 

All works well in edit mode when I run it, the AAD list updates, I can search it and do validation etc. But if I try to run the App direct by clicking on it in the Apps list I get an error 'Error when trying to retrieve data from the network' and the AAD list doesn't work.

 

'So maybe I need to publish it' I think to myself. At this stage, app is shown as 'standard' in the details page. If I then publish the app, it converts itself to 'Premium' and I am unable to click it as it moans at me that I need a licence. This is then stuck like this unless I export the app, open a json file deleting a database entry (thanks to whoever figured this one out) then re-upload it. Once I do this I'm back at square one with the app no longer connecting to AAD Users if you try and run it.

I've checked and double checked, there are no other premium connectors or tables, and I'm getting pretty fed up lol

    Hi @J_Newman ,

    When you say AAD Users, does that mean you are using Microsoft Dataverse table? If yes, then Microsoft Dataverse require premium license.

     

    Office 365 Users can be used as standard connector.

    Yes, that was exactly it. Now the question is, if AAD Users is a premium data source (or relies on premium features) why does it not have the diamond icon to show that this is the case? So much of my time has been wasted on this...

     

    But whatever, many thanks you win the internet for today
