## FAQ

### What is Power Pages authenticated users used for?

Power Pages authenticated users is used to license capacity for people who sign in to a Power Pages site, because the unit of measure is a capacity pack for authenticated users per site per month. Education customers should choose the Student Pricing or Faculty Pricing SKU that matches the population being licensed and confirm eligibility before purchase.

### What does one Power Pages authenticated-user capacity pack include for Education customers?

One Power Pages authenticated-user capacity pack covers a block of authenticated-user capacity for a Power Pages site, because the listed unit is 100 authenticated users per site/month. It is capacity for signed-in Power Pages usage, not a named-user license for every Microsoft cloud service.

### What is not included with Power Pages authenticated users?

This SKU does not include licensing for needs outside authenticated-user Power Pages capacity, because it is specifically a Power Pages authenticated-user capacity pack. Identity services, implementation, migration, managed services, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Dataverse, maker/admin licensing, or back-end app licensing may be required separately depending on the portal design.

### How do Education Student Pricing and Education Faculty Pricing differ for Power Pages authenticated users?

Education Student Pricing and Education Faculty Pricing are separate SKU variants, because Microsoft lists different Education offers for student and faculty populations. A school should license the correct population under the appropriate SKU and confirm eligibility rules before mixing or assigning capacity for students, faculty, staff, or other users.

### Can we license both students and faculty for the same Power Pages site?

Yes, a school may need both student-priced and faculty-priced capacity if both populations authenticate to the same Power Pages site, because the Education offers are separated by user population. The correct mix should be validated with IT Partner before purchase so the site’s access pattern, eligibility, and capacity assignment are aligned.

### What are T1, T2, and T3 for Power Pages authenticated users?

T1, T2, and T3 are tiered capacity-purchase options for authenticated Power Pages usage, because each tier represents 100 authenticated users per site/month capacity packs with different volume structures. T1 is the base 100-user capacity pack, T2 has a minimum purchase quantity of 100 units, and T3 has a minimum purchase quantity of 1,000 units.

### When should an education customer choose T1 instead of T2 or T3?

Choose T1 when the authenticated-user requirement is smaller or uncertain, because T1 does not carry the larger minimum-unit requirement listed for T2 or T3. Choose T2 or T3 only when the school’s Power Pages usage justifies the larger minimum commitment and the budget impact has been reviewed.

### How should we estimate the number of Power Pages authenticated-user packs we need?

Estimate capacity from the number of users expected to sign in to each Power Pages site during a month, because the license is measured as authenticated users per site/month. Confirm with IT Partner how Microsoft will count users for the specific site design, identity provider, and access pattern before purchasing.

### Does this license cover anonymous visitors to a Power Pages site?

No, this SKU is for authenticated-user Power Pages capacity, because it is specifically named Power Pages authenticated users. If the site also allows anonymous access, the school should confirm whether separate anonymous-user Power Pages capacity is required.

### Does Power Pages authenticated users include Microsoft Teams?

No, Power Pages authenticated users does not include Microsoft Teams, because it is a Power Pages capacity SKU rather than a Microsoft 365 collaboration suite. If Teams is part of the solution, Teams licensing should be handled through the school’s Microsoft 365 or other eligible subscriptions.

### Does this SKU include Microsoft Copilot or Power Platform Copilot rights?

No, this SKU should not be treated as a Copilot license, because it licenses authenticated-user capacity for Power Pages sites. Any Microsoft Copilot, Power Platform Copilot, or AI-related entitlement should be confirmed separately against the tenant, user licenses, and current Microsoft availability rules.

### Do makers, administrators, or internal staff need separate licenses to build and manage the Power Pages site?

Possibly, because this SKU licenses authenticated-user site capacity and does not automatically cover all maker, administrator, Dataverse, app, or back-end licensing needs. The licensing for users who create, administer, secure, or integrate the site should be reviewed separately before deployment.

### What prerequisites should we check before buying Power Pages authenticated users?

Before buying, confirm the Power Pages site design, the identity provider, the student-versus-faculty population, and whether anonymous access is also required, because those factors affect the correct licensing model. Also confirm any Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Dataverse, environment, or tenant prerequisites that the solution depends on.

### Is Power Pages authenticated users secure enough for student or faculty portals?

The SKU itself is a capacity license, not a security control, because security comes from the Power Pages configuration, identity provider, tenant policies, environment governance, and the underlying Microsoft cloud services. Schools should validate authentication, authorization, data access, audit, and compliance requirements with IT Partner before going live.

### Does this Education SKU determine data residency or compliance region?

No, this SKU by itself does not determine data residency, because residency and compliance depend on the Microsoft tenant, Power Platform environment region, service availability, and configuration. If residency, FERPA, institutional policy, or regional compliance requirements are material, confirm them before purchase and deployment.

### Should a university that needs GCC or GCC High buy the Education SKU?

Not automatically, because Education SKUs and Government cloud requirements are separate purchasing and eligibility paths. If the institution requires GCC, GCC High, or government-specific residency and compliance commitments, confirm the appropriate Government offer availability and tenant strategy with IT Partner before buying an Education SKU.

### Can a nonprofit school or education foundation buy the Charity version instead of Education pricing?

Only if it qualifies for the relevant nonprofit or charity program, because Charity and Education are separate segments with different eligibility rules. A nonprofit-affiliated education organization should confirm whether it should use Charity, Education Student Pricing, Education Faculty Pricing, or a combination of eligible offers before ordering.

### Can a standard commercial business buy Power Pages authenticated users?

No, a standard commercial business should use the Commercial offers, because Education pricing is intended for eligible education customers and may require eligibility validation. If the portal is for a non-education entity, IT Partner should quote the appropriate Commercial SKU instead.

### Can we transfer our Power Pages authenticated-user subscription to IT Partner without downtime?

Yes, a CSP transfer can usually be handled without changing the Microsoft tenant or taking the Power Pages site offline, because it is an administrative change in the purchasing and support relationship rather than a portal migration. IT Partner should validate the current subscription, term, billing plan, and partner-of-record process before the transfer.

### Will transferring to IT Partner change the Microsoft price or our renewal terms?

A transfer should not change the underlying Microsoft offer structure, because the same CSP product and eligible Education SKU can be used when available. Renewal timing, cancellation rights, and billing behavior still follow the subscription’s term and Microsoft commerce rules, so IT Partner should confirm the exact renewal and change options before transfer.

### Can we increase, reduce, cancel, or switch Power Pages authenticated-user capacity after purchase?

Capacity changes depend on the commitment term and Microsoft commerce rules, because monthly commitment, one-year annual upfront, and one-year monthly payment options have different flexibility. In general, increases are easier than reductions, while reductions, cancellations, or tier changes may be limited to the allowed cancellation window or renewal; confirm the exact rules with IT Partner before ordering.
