Power Automate Premium Connector - license requirement for "run only" users

[Effrette]

Hello,

I have a Power Automate flow, which uses a premium connector (HTTP, enhanced refresh in Power BI API) and is triggered from a button within a Power BI report.

My user has a Power BI Premium-per-User license and Flow Free license, in addition to "Plan 1" for O365.

When I click the button, everything works fine.

When one of the "run only" users clicks the button - the flow is not triggered.

The "run only" users have Power BI Premium-per-User license, but no basic O365 (they use Google services) or Power Automate license.

What do I need to do in order to make this button work for all the "run only" users?

Thanks.

Hi @EffratK ,

Your end-users need a license and is the root cause.  Please see the most recent licensing guide here:  https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2085130 .

My recommendation is to consider the least expensive option for this subset of users that may need to use this button in Power BI.

I think the "run only user" runs the flow as the user, meaning they would need a license. In most other cases, it runs the flow under the single connection that the flow was configured to use, so you'd be fine, I think it's the run-only user thing that's causing the issue here.
