Fantastic video Reza! This information represents 90% of the questions and support cases I get related to ownership and licensing of flows 😅 On the benefits of solution cloud flows defined in Dataverse, you missed a chance to promote your recent video on another Dataverse-specific capability for flows: Drafts and Versioning 🙂

Well done Reza! Rock solid information. One interesting aspect of this to me which isn't well documented is the amount of time it may take before a flow begins executing after the trigger condition. E.g. When a SharePoint list item is modified. If the flow is owned by a user with a Premium License, then the flow will begin to execute within a shorter period of time. I don't believe there is a precise documentation on the time window, but there is a clear difference if you do a comparison between non-premium license and premium license.

I am not aware of any documentation on this or if there is a time limit in play to trigger based on license

Super informative Reza! Always thankful for providing us with all these resources much appreciated. Any plan to Demonstrate/show us how to build the ¨ Change the PIMARY owner of a flow¨? If we are considering moving all flows to solutions and changing ownership to SPN with so many flows created with different accounts it would be cool to see how to change the ownership in bulk using flows. Thanks!

Great breakdown of licensing in Power Automate flows, Reza! Understanding the nuances of licensing can be daunting, but your video makes it clear and concise. Thanks for sharing this valuable information with the community! Regarding your mention at the end of the video about flows running under the Power Apps license, could you please elaborate on what that entails?
@RezaDorrani3 ай бұрын
Glad it was helpful! Power Apps license grants use rights for power automate (in context flows). If you associate a power app to a flow, then the app license will cover the flow. There are some requirements for it. Video description has link to the detailed documentation.

Case 1: Power Apps triggered Instant Flow "Associated" with an App Case 2: Power Apps triggered Instant Flow "Not Associated" with an App. In both the cases the flow will be triggered under the triggering user context, association is just to pair(App and Flow) from the relation point of view , it does not bend/skew/provide advantage from licensing perspective, this is my understanding, any correction to this? #SPN is going to be my next best friend in some scenarios (only some).

Hey Reza, Thank you very much for this very useful video, as usual ;-) It is a coincidence that on my side I've just tried to run a flow few days ago with a Service Principal account I've created in Azure as it is a good solution (maybe the only one?) not to be user dependant. Very quickly I've succeded to run a flow with this Service Principal account to a Dataverse connector, but I could do it with a SharePoint connector (not able to connect the Service Principal acccount maybe due to access limitations?). Do you know if there are some limitations with the Service Principal account as owner of the flow ?
@RezaDorrani3 ай бұрын
SharePoint connector does not support SPN. What you are doing is setting connections via SPN. What I show in video is the flow owner being the SPN.

I would like to use deployment pipelines and solutions. I do not share these flows with many people. Do I need process license for each flow (i have around 20) and each workspace Dev/Uat/Prod?
