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 agree with the sentiment of the others. Our jaws dropped. Its a bad idea on so many levels, driving shadow IT and creating challenges for customer IT support teams, as well as generating hidden costs and risks to future deployments/changes.
Kristin_L_365I don't know if anyone saw it but Microsoft just announced that our end users can license Microsoft Teams to function with the enterprise on their own and do not have to wait to be upgraded.
MC194285: Updated Feature: Microsoft Teams self-service access for users in partially synced tenants.
This is a disturbing trend by Microsoft.
Shaun Jennings Fantastic, let all the horrific announcements come out at once, just in time for Halloween... Ugh.
- If you do not want un-synced users to create accounts in your Azure AD tenant, you can turn this feature off by setting AllowEmailVerifiedUsers to False in your tenant.
Shaun Jennings I’m not saying that its the right thing to do from MS but at least it can be managed. Unfair really for us to say that this is the start of something more than the Power platform issue.
