    Yes, users who run a flow that uses premium connectors must have a premium Power Automate license, even if they have only "Run only" permissions.

    Here’s a summary of how it works:

    • Premium Connectors: If your flow uses any premium connectors (such as SQL Server, Salesforce, etc.), anyone who runs the flow needs to have a premium license, regardless of whether they are simply triggering the flow via a "Run only" button.

    • Service Account Setup: Even though the service account (which has a premium license) is used for the connectors, the users themselves must also have a premium license to trigger the flow. The "Run only" permission does not bypass the need for proper licensing for premium connectors.
