Licensing Power Automate Unattended Flows

• Unattended Power Automate flows run workflows upon a trigger event or schedule without an interactive user.
• These flows can run in a customer- or Microsoft-hosted environment.
• Customers must purchase specific licenses to run unattended flows; Power Automate user licenses do not give rights to run unattended flows.

Unattended Power Automate flows can perform tasks such as generating recurring reports, sending reminder notifications, and processing e-mails as they arrive. Deployment and execution of unattended flows require particular Power Automate license types.

Unattended flows do not have an interactive human user, so they are not necessarily associated with a user’s Entra ID account. Rather, they are typically run under the context of a service account or an Azure system-assigned identity.
