[URGENT] Can people that have power apps plan for office 365 use the apps that were developed using power apps premium connectors?

Posted on by trance_addict14 22

Hello

 

Before I gave a go-ahead to my Boss for purchasing power apps premium license, I want to ask a quick question. 

So the thing is that we have only one developer in our organization of 250-500 people and all of them have power apps plan for office 365. If we purchase one premium license of power apps so our developer would create apps using premium connectors, can that app be shared with all the people that have office 365 plan and no premium power apps plan?

 

I need an answer on an urgent basis I have to send an email confirming the same to my boss

 

Stay home, Stay safe

    Hello @trance_addict14 ,

    Any Power App that uses a Premium Connector requires all people using that app to have a Per User Licence.

    Is this the question you are asking?

    Does that mean the users also need to signup for the power apps plan 2 in order to be able to use apps having premium connections?

    @trance_addict14 ,

    I would like to give you another answer, but yes, that is correct. Which connector/s are you considering using?

    We are planning to use on-premise SQL connector as all of our company's data is in there so we also want to have power apps data in our on-premise SQL database.

    Thanks @trance_addict14 ,

    There are some workarounds for some of the connectors - SQL is a bit more difficult. The only thing I can suggest is use a SharePoint back end with a sync using Flow  - this would require the user account having the appropriate licence to run the Premium SQL connector and one of the Flows would have to be timed (not on when an Item added or changed) to avoid a loop.

    Although honestly, it would defeat the purpose of having SQL and all interaction would be with SharePoint.

    I also found a reference to another tool here.

    Hi @trance_addict14 ,

     

    No, a standalone PowerApps plan license is more required for all the developers and users to run the app with SQL Server connector which was reclassified from Standard to Premium from October 1, 2019.

    Current standalone licenses:

    • PowerApps per app plan. Allow individual users to run applications for a specific business scenario based on the full capabilities of PowerApps. Pricing will be $10 user/app/month.
    • PowerApps per user plan. Equip individual users to run an unlimited number of apps, without any feature restrictions. This takes the place of existing P1 and P2 plans and will be $40 /user / month.

    More reference: Licensing Guide 

    Hope this helps,

    Sik

    @v-siky-msft ,

    I believe that is what I said.

    There are some people syncing SharePoint in the background to SQL for reporting etc, but it is not an efficient process.
