Do Office 365 Government E1/E3 licenses include ability to enable PowerApps/Flow on tenant?
I've been testing PowerApps via the trial and noticed that when I share an app with another user on the same online tenant they have to login to the PowerApps website and also use the trial.
I understand that O365 administrators can't control whether an individual user access the PowerApps site but I would like to use PA to create an app that feeds into a SharePoint list without each user on our tenant having to go through the trial.
Are PowerApps and Flow available for use by Government licenses E1/E3 so we can enable at the site collection level?
Not sure if its at the Government sku's yet. Though I can confirm that it is controllable via the licensing options in Office 365.
For users in E1/E3/E5 I believe it gets turned on by default (again not sure about Gov). Are the users clicking Get Starged or are they clicking sign-in when brought to the PowerApps screen? I dont think they have passthrough authentication naild down just yet, even when I have the browser open and go to a different tab PowerApps wants me to sign in separately so I am still seeing the Get Started page.
When I share an app with one of our users they see the following dialog boxes in order to open the app even though they are logged into SP online:
It's a very confusing process and if the user clicks on My apps or Home they are taken to a whole nother site from our SP site and when they click on My organization apps there are none listed even though I created the app as a member of the organization.
I didn't see the option/buttons to enable PowerAPps in the licensing section of Office 365 Admin.
Thanks for your replies.
There are admin controls in PowerApps to do different environments and make environments available to other application builders which requires different licensing. I am still working to better understand this but really any organization needs to be using these administrative options to create different mangaged environments. From what I understand those apps are then shared out appropriately from these environments. If not used then you could run into problems when a person who builds an app leaves an organization then that app could fail to work because the identity of the person it is associated to no longer works. You may want to take a look through the Power Apps Administration and ALM documentation if you havent already https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/tutorials/introduction-to-the-admin-center/
- My understanding is that you should be able to assign PowerApps and Flow licenses as you do with other Office 365 and in the same way we can do in enterprise and education tenants
