Access to Powerapp without premium features using personal Microsoft account

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

Hi,

 

I want to create an app for my neighborhood library. There would be a librarian app that uses some premium features (e.g. downloading information from the web) and a library user app that doesn't use any premium features. Would users who do not have a work or school O365 account be able to access the library user app?

 

Regards,

 

A

    Hi @AgentARS ,

    Short answer is no - all users accessing Power Apps need an appropriate Office365 Licence. You might look at Power Pages (although the pricing may not suit your situation)

    Are there any workarounds to the problem?

    @AgentARS ,

    Not in any legitimate way.

    Thanks for the responses. I just have a question. Why is it that the library user needs to have a premium account even though their app doesn't use any premium features? Could sharing it through a Azure directory be a workaround?

    @AgentARS ,

    What is your data source and what connectors are you using in any flows ?

    My data source is SharePoint for both apps. I am using a flow, there is a premium feature used in that. However, that flow with premium features is only used in the librarian app.

    @AgentARS ,

    A Flow with premium connectors run from an app will require all users of the app to have a per app/ per user licence.
