Free PowerApp login for External Users

[jasb81]

Hi,

It will be great if Microsoft can allow external users to access powerapps at no charge or charge per block of 1000 users per year at a fixed fee.

Medical research institutes conducting research studies will really benefit as participants who volunteer in these research can use the powerapp share data. In a lot of cases research studies are not funded so paying per participant per month is not feasbile. 

This is also allow researcher build there own apps instead of hiring a developer to develop a data collection app. The researcher could then push the data from powerapps to SharePoint or Dynamics.

Microsoft will be doing a great job in helping the research sector by providing the option to setup free external users logins.

Free of course is always great. But is that a realistic goal? A subscription for a group of users with an annual subscription would be very nice. If your clients working with office 365 they have powerapps for "free".

Hi Frans,

Participants in medical research are volunteers from general public and donot have office 365. 

Thanks

Ok, Microsoft must give you some free subscriptions! I give you a vote already! Good luck!

Granting guest access to my specific PowerApps canvas app scenario is clunky. I've built a survey app that we'd like to use to survey our clients (we're a consulting firm). We could be doing this for as few as 5 people to hundreds of people at a time, with a run frequency of many times per month to many times per week. 

At that rate having our operation folks create guest accounts for each user, for each run of a survey and then delete them once they are done is not maintainable. 

Is there a better licensing approach that PowerApps can use to grant access to canvas apps that is easy and seamless? Cause the current license model is not working for us.
