Do Office 365 Government E1/E3 licenses include ability to enable PowerApps/Flow on tenant?
Brian,
Having a hard time finding anything from MS about the government release date other than what you mention here. Does your comment mean that we could enable it even though it's in process? Certainly haven't found anything to that effect. Can you point me in a direction? We echo earlier posts that this capability is wanted/needed.
We keep hitting roadblocks with sharepoint that Flow would solve. Any update on the government rollout?
So yeah any update? it's March 2018 already.
Just found this update, dated March 8:
"
Finally, we are excited to announce Microsoft will offer Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Government Community Cloud (GCC) High in 4th quarter (Q4) of calendar year 2018. This will support the requirements of the DoD, as well as contractors holding, or processing DoD controlled unclassified information or subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The Dynamics 365 GCC High environment will provide support for the DoD Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide for information up to Impact Level 4. Dynamics 365 GCC and GCC High will offer up to FedRAMP High. These Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement investments are a component of Microsoft’s applications platform that also includes Power BI, PowerApps, Flow, Steam and the Common Data Service—these services power the extensibility of Dynamics 365 and for all of Office 365. This platform empowers customers to easily customize, develop, and deploy applications that work online and offline, for consumption on mobile devices and the web, without the need to write code. Power BI is currently available in GCC and GCC High. Power Apps, Flow, Stream and the Common Data Service will be available in GCC 2018 Q4.

Ugh, fourth quarter. That's a long time to wait, especially since in mid-2017 it was going to be "At the end of 2017." Looks like it's taking over two years to get it into production!
Is there any way for Government Plan subscribers to opt-in and NOT wait for the compliance certification?
We are currently limited to develop knowing that the changes will arrive but they are still not here. What is the status on this matter?
Today is in CY 2018 and it's still not enabled.

The PowerApps team is committed to building the service with compliance by the end of CY 2017. It is technically possible to access and use PowerApps (and Flow) with Office 365 US Gov credentials, but we've blocked it from being enabled by default prior to compliance.We are awaiting access to Power Apps and Flow as well.
Any updates on the targeted EOCY 2017 release for PowerApps/Flow?
Are we looking more to early 2018?Thanks!
I would also be very interested in an update WRT when this might debut in Gov E3 tenants.
We've been working through some of this with our Microsoft contacts, as far as we know right now it's still targeted for deployment to Government tenants by the end of this calendar year.

- I would definitely love to get a sense of when this will be released as well, and also a better idea of what functionality we will/won't get compared to the Commercial version. My experience with most Government MS products has been that we get a watered down version and I'm hoping that isn't the case with PowerApps but do want to plan for it if so.
Hey Brian!
If we opt out of waitng for PowerApps and Flow to be complaint can we get access to it with Office 365 US Gov credentials then? Our Office opted out of waiting for Yammer compliance and were wondering if we can do the same for PowerApps and Flow.
Thanks!

- Ouch - that's a while to wait, but better to know a target date than to have it floating (I'm looking at you Sway!) ;)
I have had at least three different situations come up where I would have loved to use this as a solution. I will wait patiently and practice in a non-gov account space in the meantime.
Thanks for the info!
