do individuals being assigned flows need a license for flow

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am using flow to create recurring tasks for my team in planner. I am wondering if everyone on the team who will be assigned tasks also needs a license for flow, or if I am the only one who needs it as I would be the only one creating flows and just assigning the tasks to others.

    If your team members are using Planner, then I assume that they already have some type of Business Office 365 license.  As a result, they already have a license to use Flow/Power Automate with Planner - it comes with all Business Office 365 licenses of which I am aware.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    For the flow part, they needn't the flow license.

    However, since you would create the task in planner, they need to have the planner license.

     

    Best regards,
