Within a fully managed CSP agreement, is a customer (the end user) allowed to create & manage an Azure subscription? Including billing ownership. (I know it's technically possible, but is it in breach of the standard CSP agreement?)
detail:
Company A are a Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) of Microsoft products and services. Company B (the customer company) use Company A as their CSP to access services like Office 365 and other SaaS solutions. The CSP provide this as a fully managed service. The CSP have an Azure tenancy with an Active Directory (containing all the users of Company B).
Say Company B want to create, manage & directly pay for an Azure subscription within the CSP's tenancy, is that contractually possible? Even within a 'fully-managed' CSP model? Is this a common setup?
Assume here that Company B have the expertise and knowledge in-house to manage an Azure subscription and resources held within. Company B are willing to accept all responsibility for the contents of the subscription (Databases, Virtual Machines, web apps etc), including billing/payments. They can also pay for an Azure support package, independent of the CSP if required.
