    Hi Motoki2190 

     

    As stated on pg.3 of the D365 LG, Admins do not need any license to configure and administer Dynamics 365 applications; global admins and power platform admins can administer without a license.

     

    Microsoft Power Platform admins who do not have a license are granted the following two levels of permission in customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation).

    • System administrator security role
    • Administrative access mode

Thank you for your checking.
I undestand from the document that global admins and power platform admins can administer without a license on only customer engagement apps (Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, Dynamics 365 Field Service, Dynamics 365 Marketing, and Dynamics 365 Project Service Automation).

Is it correct that Global Admin and Power Platform Admin are not related to FnO's roles？

 

About <Q1>,

can the System Administrator Role on FnO be assigned to the account without a Commerce, Finance, or SCM license?

Also, if I have a Commerce, Finance, or SCM Base license, can I use Project Operations? Or do I need a Project Operations license?

 

Thank you.
