Re: The announcement regarding self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products??
ahayes no. Not Microsoft. If I don’t agree I must be MS? I enjoy environments where users are trusted and not held back by legacy IT systems or worse, IT admins that are stuck in a comfortable environment not wanting to progress with new technologies. Yes IT need to control these but if your user wants to use power BI at the moment he will sign up to a new tenant, one that you know nothing about and import your data. With the changes yes he spins up a new instance but under your tenant with you having visibility and the option to pull into your volume agreement. I see that as the best option allowing for better control of that environment. Just my humble opinion though and yes having the ability to turn it off I think would be a good idea as allowing admins the choice is always the best way.13KViews0likes2CommentsRe: The announcement regarding self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products??
Shaun Jennings I’m not saying that its the right thing to do from MS but at least it can be managed. Unfair really for us to say that this is the start of something more than the Power platform issue.12KViews0likes7CommentsRe: The announcement regarding self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products??
Everyone seems in agreement that an opt out feature would help. I think that Microsoft are actually helping us out here. I look at multiple tenants for organisations every day. Most employees that want to try a service spin up a new tenant on a card and the organisation see nothing. Here you can see it as the admin and if you want to pull that into your volume licensing in the future. It could be useful.14KViews0likes2CommentsRe: The announcement regarding self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products??
Kelly_Edinger Microsoft Azure Active Directory admins within the customer organisation will have visibility into self-service purchases through the Microsoft 365 admin centre. Later, if the procurement department for the organisation wants to consolidate the subscription into its central agreement, the admin can assign the users replacement licenses procured through the central agreement (EA, MPSA, Microsoft Customer Agreement via CSP, MOSA, etc.) and ask the end user to cancel their original subscription. Admins can’t turn off this capability. It's recommend customers use internal company guidelines and documentation to ensure employees know what is and is not acceptable for use within their organisations. I'm not sure that this is the best way forward personally from MS, but I can see what they are trying to do, cut down on the admin for users who are trying products out. I'd expect that this would be rolled out to more product sets in the future so maybe we need to look at policy to prevent unwanted spend rather than rely on the technical prevention. I hope that helps.17KViews0likes0Comments
