Generating Credentials for MCA CSP Partner Billing Configurations
Follow the steps in this section to generate credentials for MCA CSP Partner Billing Configurations. The Partner Center Web App will be used to create authentication against the Azure AD.
To generate your Partner Center Web App Key:
|
2.
|
From the Settings menu (gear icon), select Account settings. |
|
3.
|
On the Account settings page, choose App management. |
The App management page appears.
|
4.
|
In order to add a new key, choose the Add key button but before doing so notice that you can specify the duration of the key from the dropdown list next to the Add key button. |
Note:If you do not already have an existing Partner Center Web App, you need to register a new web app.
A new row is added that shows the key along with the key’s duration and expiration date details.
Note:The Key is used as the Application Secret. The account ID shown on this page is not your billing account ID, it is the application directory ID.
Granting Required Permissions to Your Partner Center Web App in the Azure Portal
This section describes how to grant the required permission to your Partner Center Web App.
To grant permissions to your Partner Center Web App in the Azure Portal:
|
2.
|
In the upper- left corner of the page, click the hamburger menu, and select Cost Management + Billing. |
The Cost Management + Billing page opens.
The Access control (IAM) page that corresponds to your Billing account appears.
|
4.
|
Click Add to add a new permission on the Billing Account. The Add permission dialog box appears. Do the following: |
|
a.
|
In the Role dropdown list, select Billing account reader. |
|
b.
|
In the Select text box, type the name of the App name (that you copied in Step 4 when you created your Partner Center Web App). App names do not appear in the list by default. |
Important:You must type the actual App name in the Select box because, by default, Azure assumes you are granting permission to a list of users. However, you are instead granting permissions to the Web App itself and not a list of users.
