Clarification on Licensing for Accessing Business Central Virtual Tables in Dataverse

Hello,

I would like to request clarification regarding licensing requirements for users accessing Business Central data through Dataverse Virtual Tables.

Scenario:

We have set up the integration between Business Central and Dataverse and installed the necessary applications to enable Business Central Virtual Tables.

Some users in our organization do not have a Business Central license. These users, however, do have Power Apps licenses (per app or per user).

We would like them to use a Power Apps application (Model-driven or Canvas) that reads and manipulates data exposed via the Business Central Virtual Tables.

Questions:

Can users without a Business Central license access and use Virtual Tables in Dataverse if they have the appropriate Power Apps license and security roles in Dataverse?

Is a Business Central license required in any way for these users, considering that they would never access the Business Central client directly but only the Virtual Tables in Dataverse?

Are there any limitations or constraints we should be aware of in this scenario?

Thank you in advance for your clarification.
Best regards,
