GDAP after Direct to Indirect Transfer

Will Direct partners become Indirect resellers and move their customers to Indirect, will they need to reestablish GDAP rights?

Hi SusanGuy56

The other comments are correct. As a best practice, I would recommend that you re-establish a relationship.

I'm providing a link to the overall document on how to transition from a direct bill to indirect reseller. In this article there is a specific section on moving customers from direct bill to indirect reseller that provides specific instructions along with GDAP rights.

Hi SusanGuy56,

In practice and as best practice, you should re-establish GDAP relationships when switching from direct to indirect CSP, because the reseller relationship layer changes and that is what underpins your admin access.
