Power Automate Licensing
Hi, I'm trying to understand the licensing around Power Automate.. the documentation is somewhat confusing so I can't figure it out exactly. So let's say someone built a cloud flow with a Pr...
As I mentioned. Whilst your description of using a premium connector instant flow with a manual trigger being run (in the background) by a single licensed user account is technically possible. In my opinion it is not compliant with Microsoft's product terms and use rights, where all users triggering the flow should be licensed with a Power Automate Premium license, or you would license the business flow.
Nick_Beacroft I actually took that description direct from the Microsoft Power Automate documentation page:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/create-team-flows#share-a-cloud-flow-with-run-only-permissions
So this is what made me question if it really is going out of compliance if a Premium user shared their flow for others unlicensed users to use.
But I think ultimately like you said, to remain complaint, if invoking the flow that uses premium connectors you should have a Premium license assigned, if just standard connectors this will be enough with just a P-Automate Basic license assigned (included with many M365 licenses).
Thanks,
