Licensing: Power Automate flow from Portal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 126

Hi Experts, 

 

I'd like to trigger a Power Automate flow from a button in a portal, following an approach similar to the described on the post below
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Portals/Trigger-Power-Automate-flow-with-Power-Apps-Portal-Entity-list/m-p/653250

My portal users will be authenticated, but they won't be part of the tenant's Active Directory. 

 

My question is: Do I need Power Automate licenses for these portal users?

 

By looking at the Power Apps licensing FAQ it seems like anybody who runs a flow needs a license to run a flow, but these users will be external users not included in the tenant. 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/powerapps-flow-licensing-faq#do-users-who-run-flows-need-to-be-licensed-or-do-only-users-who-create-flows-need-to-be-licensed

    I don't know the answer, one question would be in your case is the external user actually the person running the Flow e.g. if an external user triggers a Workflow from the Portal (this is a configurable option) then the workflow is actually initiated by System (internal system user) and would just count towards the API calls made.
