MC193609 UPDATED - Announcing self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products This post has been updated to include a link to FAQs under Additional Information.
Self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products (Power BI, PowerApps, and Flow) will be available for commercial cloud customers starting 11/19.
Today, individuals within your organization are unable to purchase subscriptions or assign licenses for themselves or their departments without contacting you, their admin. Based on customer demand, we'll soon be enabling self-service purchase and license management capabilities, which will allow users within your organization to purchase products directly, starting with the Power Platform family of products; Power BI, PowerApps, and Flow.

What is the roll-out schedule?
Power BI will be available for self-service purchase in the US starting November 19, followed by PowerApps and Flow and additional geographies beginning December 4. This capability will not be available for customers who are eligible for Government, Nonprofit or Education offers.

UPDATE as of October 31, 2019; Over the past week, we've been listening to your feedback regarding the rollout of our self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products. To those of you who provided your input, thank you! Based on your feedback, we've adjusted our approach to better address the needs of both IT admins and end users within organizations. We're making the following changes to our plan;
On November 19th, we will provide IT admins a way to turn off self-service purchasing on a per product basis via PowerShell. More details will be forthcoming.

To provide more time to prepare for this change, we are updating the launch for self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products to start with Power BI on January 14, 2020 for all commercial cloud customers.

Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback. We look forward to a continued partnership to help empower organizations to achieve more.
