Unlock new capabilities organizations need and want like mobile solutions and Microsoft Teams integration. Keep the value and ease of use of Access together with the value of cloud-based storage.
Make sure you have admin rights to create a separate Microsoft 365 Access Beta environment. Make sure it is not in production and that it supports Dataverse and Power Apps in their licensing. You'll need a subscription with Microsoft Teams installed. A Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 tenant is ideal but others that support Microsoft Teams work as well. This can be your own Virtual Machine (VM) or you can use a separate machine to install Microsoft 365 Office beta code for Access.
Join the Microsoft 365 Developer Program to get your own E5 tenant with 1 admin and 24 users. Important: This developer program subscription will not work for those that require Government Community Cloud (GCC) environments.
You'll need to join the Office Insiders Program in Access to get the beta channel. This link takes you through the steps to enroll from your Access application.
If you already have your own Dataverse instance, simply create a new environment within your tenant to use for beta testing.
If you don't have a Dataverse tenant, request a free trial at https://powerapps.microsoft.com/ and click Start free.
For more information, see About trial environments.
Note: If you belong to a Government Community Cloud (GCC) environment, you'll need to request a testing organization from your administrator.
For more information about how this integration works, including different scenarios, data types supported, and the capabilities of Dataverse and Power Platform, see Migrate Access data to Dataverse.
Please ask questions and give us feedback on your experience with the beta at Microsoft Q&A using the office-access-dev tag. Be sure to mention Access Connector for Dataverse in your post!
