Hi,
I have Power Apps per user plan licence. I have implemented a Model Driven App. I have managed to give my users access to the app by assigning a Microsoft Power Automate Free Licence to them as shown below :
Does it mean that my users do not need to have a Power Apps per user plan Licence or a Power Apps per app plan to consume my model driven app ?
Thanks,
Arioule
The Common Data Service rights are being granted in the context that a Power Automate Flow can access the CDS data.
To grant access to the CDS data, the user needs to be added as a member of the CDS environment but that doesn't grant you the rights to assign additional permissions to the user. There is nothing technical to stop you but MS may check the licences and bill you.
Hi @Arioule ,
The answer to your Questions is NO. Actually, the Microsoft Power Automate Free license is the old license, and now the new license is known as 'Per User Plan' and 'Per Flow Plan'. The Microsoft Power Automate Free license includes the Model-Driven app functionality, so you could assign this license to your end users. But if the Microsoft Power Automate Free license is expired, your end users would not be able to access your Model-Driven app any more.
In addition, except the required license, if you want these end users to run your Model-Driven app, you also must assign proper Security Role (which has been bind to the Model-Driven app) in your current Environment to these end users.
Note: The Model-Driven app is based on Security Role.
