New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1: Receive Intelligent License Recommendations for Admins

This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Power Automate 2024 Wave 1.

The 1st of the new functionality in the Cloud Flows section is receive intelligent license recommendations for admins.

This feature simplifies the license assignment process for admins and enables a governed self-serve mechanism for premium features access. Admins don’t always know who needs a license and why. They need to understand which users are using Power Automate and require a premium license. They can rely on Power Automate intelligent license recommendations to provide them with a list of users who will benefit from having a premium license.

Enabled for: Admins, makers, marketers, or analysts, automatically

Feature Details

Admins can:

1. Receive intelligent license recommendations with a list of users based on:
   • License requested by users
   • Trial users
   • Seeded users without premium license
   • Active users without premium license
2. Automatically assign licenses to the selected users directly or through a security group

My Opinion

I’m not generally involved in the licencing aspect of things, nut this sounds like it could be useful, as Microsoft licensing is notorious for being overly complex.
