Hi Diego,
Unfortunately the short answer is no. We managed to get a couple of meetings with people from Microsoft who were, to varying degrees, either unable or unwilling to help us solve this particular problem.
We are coming to the end of a development cycle at the moment and will then be diverting our attention back to figuring how to crack this. However, the one thing I learned from my previous attempt was to save myself the time and energy and not ask for Microsoft for advice on the subject.
I'm sorry I haven't got anything to help at the moment though.

Thanks, Craig. This was really helpful. I was considering reaching out to Microsoft for support, but based on your advice, I’ll focus my efforts on a different approach. Moving forward, I think my best option will be to offer a managed solution built on the Power Platform and charge customers for the implementation. It seems the Power Platform may not be the ideal choice for a full SaaS offering just yet.

Thanks again, and best of luck!
