Dynamics 365 quick bites - What need to consider regarding the new PowerApps Portals licensing?

PowerApps Portals provide low-code tools to build responsive websites that connect an organization with external customers or partners. This is done by providing the ability to create a new portal app which can be accessed by internal users, anonymous external users, or by authenticating external users with LinkedIn, local logins, Microsoft accounts and many other identity providers. The ability to access PowerApps Portals is included as part of the new PowerApps per user and per app plans for internal users.

PowerApps Portals will be licensed per the following:

• External users (authenticated) will be $200 for 100 logins/month.
• External users (anonymous) will be $100 for 100,000 web page views/month.
• Internal users are able to access portals using a PowerApps per app or per user plan as per above.

PowerApps Portals can be provisioned without requiring a specific license. User access licensing is based on persona type and details are as below.

Think of a login as a “day pass” to a portal. Once logged in to a portal, subsequent logins (potentially from different devices) during the 24-hour period will not be billable. Logins are specific to a single portal. So if you access multiple portals belonging to same tenant, it will be counted one login per portal.

In the next blog, I would like to explain the difference between PowerApps Portals and Dynamics 365 Portals in terms of licensing. so stay tuned till that Happy Learning!!
