On-Prem Business Central - External user (Subscription license)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 57

Hi all,

How do I invite External users to an On-Prem Business Central?

It uses an subscription license.

In the cloud version, it can be done with Users --> process --> invite external user.

But that is missing on-prem?

What do I do?

From Dynamics365BusinessCentralonpremLicensingguide.pdf

External users cannot use any clients provided by the Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises, such as the Dynamics 365 Busines Central on-premises Windows client, the Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises Web client, the Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises for Windows, the Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises for iPad or iPhone app, or the Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises for Android Tablet or Phone app.

    Hello,

    To answer your last question. You cannot connect with Win/Web client but you can build a web portal these users can connect to.

    Thanks.

    With external user license in the onprem environment no.

    For your requirements I think that you should evaluate Team Members license.

    Thank you for your answer.

    So there is no "free" Windows Client/Webclient (if I have External accuntant users)?

    My accountant need an Real subscription license?

    External users for onpremise is a type of license that permits you to connect to the system by using web services from external applications. This is a type of license with a low cost and that does not consume user licenses.
