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. {% data reusables.billing.enterprise-create-button %}

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. {% data reusables.billing.azure-accept-permissions %}

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

4. 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 %}

5. 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.
