GA: Microsoft PowerApps and Flow
- Nov 30, 2016I'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.
Thanks, I was interpreting it that way, but wasn't certain as if we are going to be limited in the number of 'free flows', and get charged after x amount of Flows it doesn't seem like this is an App Microsoft should turn-on by default for everyone.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to turn it off for all users at the moment. I also noticed a Dynamics 365 app tile appear today.

I've added a new FAQ with links to licensing and user controls information above...hope this is helpful.
- Nov 22, 2016Really useful! Thanks

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.
- Dean_GrossNov 28, 2016Silver ContributorThanks, now would you please tell us how to remove the Dynamics app tile while leaving Flow and PowerApps.

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.
