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.
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 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.
paulbytes you sound like you work for Microsoft. Stop. If you are an admin and/or run any kind of IT enterprise, you would agree with everyone else on here. The fact that you, not necessarily disagree, but keep doing the whole "glass half full/empower the users" approach suggests you either encourage Shadow IT in your environment or just like having an environment run by imbeciles. This is hands down an absolutely terrible idea and the idiots responsible don't have a clue on how to run an IT enterprise. The people responsible for this idea have issues with admins and want to empower everyone else in their stead because they always hated having to "put in a ticket". Hopefully this never makes it to the finish line. #worstideaever
