Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you know:

• {% data variables.product.github %} username of the client who will become the owner of the enterprise you create
• {% data variables.product.github %} username for the CSP partner that must be assigned to the customer’s enterprise account to manage metered billing and access support
• Enterprise name your client would like to use
• Email address for receipts
• Number of seats your client needs in the enterprise
• Enterprise account type required by your client, see AUTOTITLE

Step 1: Create the enterprise account in the Azure portal

As a Microsoft CSP partner, you can get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} from the Microsoft Azure portal.

1. Sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal.
2. In the search bar, type "{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}" and select {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} to go the landing page.
3. Select Get started with {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}.
4. Choose an enterprise type. To help you decide which choice is best for the enterprise, see AUTOTITLE.
5. Complete the form with your client's information.
6. Click Create your enterprise.

Step 2: Purchase {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %}

At any time during the trial, you can purchase {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise %} for your client by linking it to their Azure subscription. If the account is later transferred to the customer, ensure the Azure subscription is fully managed by them.

{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %}

1. At the top of the page, in the blue banner, click Activate Enterprise.

2. Click Add Azure subscription.

3. To sign in to your Microsoft account, follow the prompts.

4. Review the "Permissions requested" prompt. If you agree with the terms, click Accept.

   If you don't see a "Permissions requested" prompt, and instead see a message indicating that you need admin approval, see AUTOTITLE.

5. Under "Select a subscription", select the Azure Subscription ID that you want to connect to your organization. {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.tenant-app-permissions %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.connect-azure %}

6. Click Activate Enterprise.

Step 3: Invite your client as an enterprise owner

Invite your client to become an enterprise owner. See AUTOTITLE.

Step 4: Change your role to billing manager

Optionally, you can change your role to billing manager to manage the billing for the enterprise account, without having full administrative access.

{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.people-tab %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.administrators-tab %} {% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.change-role-to-billing-manager %}

Contacting support

As a Microsoft CSP partner, you can use the {% data variables.contact.github_support %} for Microsoft CSP landing page to speak to {% data variables.contact.github_support %}. For more information about creating a support ticket, see AUTOTITLE.
