GA: Microsoft PowerApps and Flow
- I'm confused by your response. What has MS discontinued in O365 without an upgrade path? SPD still works fine and the WFs it creates will continue to work for many years.
The Dynamics 365 tile provides a user launch point for PowerApps and Flows that might live outside a SharePoint/Office 365 container. It doesn't give the user full rights to the D365 suite.
That said, I've also updated the FAQ with further guidance about removing the Office 365 app launcher tiles for selected users or the enterprise.
That's not possible right now. The goal of the Dynamics 365 icon is to provide a launch point for PowerApps and Flow that might not be found inside an Office 365 container (SharePoint). We got a lot of feedback during the preview that the PowerApps and Flow "apps" were really focused on designers and admins, and didn't provide great signposts for users just trying to launch a prebuilt app. That icon doesnt confer any Dynamics rights (or costs) beyond that specific launch pad. Hope that makes sense - it was a later addition to the GA rollout.
- So...does it means the PowerApps and Flow tiles will be removed or will stay? It's a kind of confusing to have three tiles that seems to do the same
- If you disable the license and services for a user, all three tiles will disappear from the waffle, yes.
- It would make more sense if the main page did not include the following text, " Here you’ll find all your Microsoft Dynamics 365 apps—from sales and service to operations and financials—along with apps that work with them from Microsoft AppSource."
I have no idea what the MS AppSource is, and this does not provide any clue that PowerApps with no relationship to Dynamics will be available on this same page. It appears to be a big push by the Dynamics marketing team.
