The announcement regarding self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products??
At Microsoft, we’ve been listening to all of the feedback regarding the rollout of our self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products. To those of you who provided your input, thank you! Based on your feedback, we’ve adjusted our approach to better address the needs of both IT admins and end users within organizations. We’re making the following changes to our plan:
- On November 19th, we will provide IT admins a way to turn off self-service purchasing on a per product basis via PowerShell.
- To provide more time to prepare for this change, we are updating the launch for self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products to start with Power BI on January 14th for all commercial cloud customers.
You can find more details about self-service purchase at the Self-service purchase FAQ. Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback. We look forward to a continued partnership to help empower all organizations to achieve more.
I think that Microsoft are actually helping us out here. I look at multiple tenants for organisations every day. Most employees that want to try a service spin up a new tenant on a card and the organisation see nothing. Here you can see it as the admin and if you want to pull that into your volume licensing in the future. It could be useful.

Everyone seems in agreement that an opt out feature would help.

paulbytes Don't be fooled by Microsoft. They are only helping themselves out and hide it behind a facade of good will. It's not configurable because its potential to generate money with this is higher if businesses cannot deactivate this.
