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.
Kelly_Edinger I am in agreement with you. This announcement came as a complete shock. Coupled with not having the ability to disable this feature does not sit well with me or my organization.
While I understand that Microsoft is wanting to push the Power Platform but some organizations are not ready for that level of technicality and they will need to slide into using it. Power BI is enough and dealing with sprawl is awful. We have to have time to put governance in place before we release anything to the organization.
I did put in a dislike on the Message Center announcement and explained my choice. I also voted on the User Voice to add in the disable feature. I hope there is a ton of backlash on this announcement because they have a lot to explain during Ignite next week about this decision.
