Allow external (co-)creator

[larskessels]

Is it possible to add an external user (outside our organization), which is allowed to create an app within our own environment and/or tenant?

Hello @larskessels,

You can share apps with guests, but you cannot make them co-owners unfortunately: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/share-app-guests#considerations-and-lim...

Hi @joe_hannes_col ,

What should be the way to go, on this topic? 

Do we need to add an external user (consultant) directly on our AD and assign him/her a Power App license?

Thanks! Lars

Hi @larskessels,

It depends a bit on what you want to achieve:

• Do you want the external user to develop the app directly in your tenant? Then adding them as a user in your AD tenant would be the best (only) way.
• Would it be acceptable for you if the consultant developed the app outside your tenant? Then you could either use the functionality to import/export (canvas) apps: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/export-import-app, or better yet, move the app in a solution across your tenants: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/data-platform/solutions-overview
