license to access Planner Premium from Power Apps
We want to create a Power Apps that connect to those main sources:-
1) SharePoint
2) Premium Planner
now i know that connects Power Apps to Premium Planner will make the Power Apps as premium app, and users will need premium power apps license to access it. and also accessing Premium Planner will need atleast Planner Plan1. so what is the minimum license for those 3 groups of users:-
1) normal users will be accessing SharePoint lists only through the Power Apps
2) Admin users will be accessing SharePoint lists and Premium Planner through the Power Apps + Premium Planner through the Premium Planner UI.
3) Senior user will be accessing SharePoint lists and Premium Planner through the Power Apps only.
does Planner Plan1 is enough for Senior user? and does Power Apps Premium is enough for admins?
Thanks

There are two licensing layers: Power Apps and Planner features. The Planner and SharePoint connectors are standard, so those connectors alone do not make an app premium. However, if premium-plan data is accessed through Dataverse or another premium capability, the app can be designated premium. Check App details in the maker portal. If the app is premium, every person who launches it needs a Power Apps entitlement, including users who open its SharePoint portion. Planner licensing is separate. Microsoft 365 Planner rights provide basic editing in premium plans, while a Planner premium subscription, such as Planner Plan 1, is required for premium features. Therefore, administrators and senior users need Planner Plan 1 when using those features, plus Power Apps Premium if the app is designated premium. Power Apps Premium does not replace Planner licensing. Separating SharePoint-only and Planner-premium functions into different apps may avoid unnecessary Power Apps Premium licenses.
