Assign Azure subscriptions to your customers

To assign an Azure subscription to a customer, use the following steps:

  1. In Partner Center, select Customers and then locate the customer you want to manage.

  2. Select the down arrow at the end of the row to expand the customer's record and then select Service Management. Alternatively, after selecting the customer's name, the Service Management page will be accessible through the left navigation.

    You're directed to the Azure portal where you can manage the customer's subscriptions.

  3. At the Azure portal, select Subscriptions.

  4. Select the subscription you want to assign and then select Access Control.

  5. Select Add to add a user to the subscription.

    After you add the user to the subscription, you can assign the user a role and the account to which the user will have access.

Enable customers to manage their Azure subscriptions

After you create a Microsoft Azure subscription for a customer, you can enable them to manage the subscription. To enable, you must sign in the customer's Microsoft Azure Management portal.

To enable customers to manage their Azure subscriptions, use the following steps:

  1. Open the customer's Azure portal by selecting the customer's name and then selecting Service Management. Alternatively, after selecting the customer's name, the Service Management page will be accessible through the left navigation.

    Note

    If you are prompted to log onto the Azure portal, you might not have delegated administrative privileges. Select Request a reseller relationship to invite the customer to identify you as their Partner of Record. After the customer accepts your invitation, you are automatically granted delegated administrative privileges.

  2. In the Azure portal, open the customer's subscriptions list and select the customer's Azure subscription.

  3. Assign a role to any of the customer's users so that they can create and manage resources under their subscription.
