Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I am hoping to build a Portal and am considering embedding a model-driven app on the Portal, but I am wondering if local authentication users (email/password) who view data in a model-driven app have to have a license.

My understanding is the new Portal app is supposed to allow users to view CDS data without needing a plan, but I want to be sure that works before I waste time developing.

Building Power Apps

Hi @dehmos27,

You can't embed a model-driven app on Power Apps Portal. You actually build Portals forms with model-driven form designer, but these forms are rendered differently on Portals to Portal type forms. You can embed a canvas app however (link below). As for your access question, yes local accounts can perform CRUD operations on CDS data. You have to configure Entity Permissions with Web Roles to configure the security and ensure external users have only access the the data that they're supposed to. Here a a few links to help with your questions:
