Overview
Your Microsoft Azure Account lets you deploy, build, and manage your applications from anywhere using your preferred language and framework. Before you provision your Microsoft Azure account, you’ll need to onboard your CSP account.
Before You Begin
Ensure that your Azure account is a Microsoft CSP account.
Obtain your CSP account ID. Visit the Microsoft Partner Network and:
Click on the User Profile on the top left > Select View Account > Partner Profile.
Copy the Microsoft ID (Account ID.)
Example: a478f132-3bd7-496d-9b4f-337e88c68c7e.
Ensure that the service account used for onboarding the CSP Account in HyperCloud™ Platform has the Admin Agent permission.
Note
HyperCloud™ Platform does not make any changes to your CSP Customer Accounts or use the Admin-on-behalf-of capabilities at any point.
HyperCloud™ will only read information about billing, invoice and, customers' subscriptions, and usage.

Discovering CSP Customers

Click on the Administration Tab > Account Management > Azure > CSP.

CSP Dashboard Overview
The CSP dashboard provides a snapshot of the historical spending & services consumed by all CSP Customers.
Login to the HyperCloud™ platform as the Cloud Admin > Click on Administration > CSP Management.
