Azure AD required for Power Apps app?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by goduser 4

Dear Power Apps Community,

 

I have a question about using apps created with Power Apps:

Does the end-user require an Azure AD account in order to use it, or is it possible to use a different authentication method, such as a local Active Directory or an Amazon AWS AD instance?

 

Thank you very much for your assistance!

 

Cheers

goduser

    Hi @goduser,

     

    Azure Active Directory is required for authenticating to any Power Apps as it is primarily meant for internal users in the organization. 

     

    Power Pages (formerly Power Apps Portals) allows external user access and provides the ability to configure a 3rd party identity provider such as Google, Okta, Azure AD B2c, etc.
