Power Platform External users and Premium Connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 416

Hi all, 

 

 

I am working for a client and these are high-level requirements

 

  1. The client is building a Collaboration  Hub whereby multiple Apps will be hosted to be accessed by external and internal users.

    Information to be shared here are policies, access guidelines, investment related, transaction report information, etc.

    Q: Can we do with Power App Portals only, and we could use Power Apps / Power Automate for internal and external users too?


  2. Require a platform for different departments to access, submit and consume the necessary data.
    Client would need to consolidate and process the data accordingly.

  3. There is also a need for an interface for the client to collect data from end-users and thereafter pass it on to third party apps like ServiceNow to trigger backend workflow.

    The client is considering   3rd party apps to the Power Platform via Azure API Management without purchasing a premium connector.

    Q: Is it a good idea to build custom API  via Azure API Management or purchase premium connectors would be a better idea considering the team has not built any custom API so far?    

 

 

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated

    1) More details would be needed about the apps being consumed through the hub.  But I would suspect that some of the apps will not work correctly with external users in anonymous mode through the Power Apps portal.  Its possible, but not all apps are going to be work in that kind of context.

    2) Yes, that should be possible using a Power Apps portal.  Again its hard to be certain without a lot more details.

    3) Custom connectors to use custom APIs will still require a premium license, so I don't think this will help with the licensing.
