Hi @d3ell ,
I think you have some misunderstanding on the doc I mentioned above. The "Yes" that you mentioned actually tells that the Office 365 Enterprise F1 license could only run apps (it could not create and share apps):
If you have O365 business premium license for your account, and you share your app with these users who has Office 365 Enterprise F1, these users could use your app fully (Your share will be fully functional to F1 type users).
Best regards,
Even if you achieve what you're asking, I think you would still require a license for each user.
See the paragraph on Multiplexing on page 5 of the Licensing Guide
Ah, never really considered that aspect! it'd be breaking the microsoft policy law then!
Thanks for pointiing that out.
All the pricing plans seem a bit confusing, is the business essentials the cheapest plan then in order to have access and be able to use powerapps? (UK based)
Hi @d3ell ,
Do you want multiple users to use the same app using the same user account when using PowerApps?
The thought you mentioned is correct. Multiple users could use the same app using the same user account when using PowerApps.
I agree with @WillPage 's thought partly. Firstly, if you want your users to use PowerApps, you should purchase proper PowerApps license for each one of them.
But if you want your users to create, run and share a PowerApps canvas app, I don't think the Office 365 Business F1 plan is the cheapest one. If your account owns Office 365 Business F1 plan, you could only run a canvas app, not create or share an app.
Please check the following article about Office 365 Business F1 license inlcude PowerApps:
If you want to create, run and share a canvas app using PowerApps, the cheapest license is Office 365 Business Essentials ($5 per user/month).
Best regards,
Hi @v-xida-msft thanks for your input which is appreciated. yes i was wanting multiple users to use the same app using the same account in powerapps, but from @WillPage 's comments i understand this would be breaching Microsofts 'multiplexing' rules!?
I do believe i could create the app and it would work in theory, but at the same time i wouldnt want to break the rules! My app is currently built with the intention of having multiple users with their own user accounts i just havent purchased them all yet and had this idea where i could save a decent amount of money each month! Typically microsoft have guarded themselves against this.
The only confusion i have is that @v-xida-msft you have said that with the F1 account you cant create or share an app, whereas on that link you have sent the row that says Create and share apps it has a 'Yes' adjacent to it? so can i or cant i!?
in reality though our field engineers will only use the app to input data, they will never create an app themselves so i dont think it would matter even if what you are saying is correct.
I personally have a 365 business premium accout and i'm the only person in our business who is creating apps so i assume any that i share will be fully functional to F1 type users? (no premium connectors used in the app).
Thanks

Thank you you have answered my query anyway so appreciate that, however with regards to the write up if you look further down the list it says "Create and share" and "Yes"
