Power Automate license news from Microsoft

I'm struggling trying to understand the license changes about Unattended RPA. Now we have the subscription Power Automate Process and this add on Unattended RPA add-on  what are the differences? Reading the doc:

  • For  Power Automate Process is one bot Per environment/month, one license allows the bot or process to be used in a single environment this means that any user in the env with a Power Automate Premium license could invoke Unattended desktop flow?.
  • The Unattended RPA add-on is it assigned to a specific user?, if yes, this means only this user could invoke  Unattended desktop flow? if no, How do I prevent multiple users in the same environment from using and scheduling unattended flows simultaneously?

Community, grateful in advance for the help.

    The add-on doesn't exist anymore. It was replaced by the Power Automate Process license.

    Hi, if there is only PAP, how does it works if it is assigned to an enviroment, this means that any user in the env with a Power Automate Premium license could invoke Unattended desktop flow?

     

    is it possible to restrict the use of this bot to specific user in this env?

    A user does not actually even need to have a Premium license to run unattended desktop flows if there is a Process license assigned to an environment. Essentially, any user having access to the environment will actually be able to run unattended flows.

     

    The best way to prevent it is to have a separate environment and simply not add users that should not be able to run those flows to the environment. This is especially true if you want to have some users with Premium licenses (i.e. actually running desktop flows). As far as I know, you cannot have a permissions setting that would allow running attended flows, but prevent running unattended flows.
