Managing accounts in multiple Partner/CSP tenants
This is their response:
There’s no way to have one domain and user login for multiple CSP tenants. Each tenant must be associated with its own domain, which means a user who needs to access multiple tenants will need multiple logins corresponding to each tenant.
Community ManagerI just pinged the team again. Stay tuned.

I knew that would be their response, but thank you for confirming. I’m sure there are many technical reasons, but can you let them know that this would be easier and more secure if we could use Guest accounts from our internal production Tenant in addition to member accounts in the CSP tenant that would reduce maintenance and risk significantly
I still wonder how other CSPs are managing this complex and inefficient system. Are they doing it manually, using home grown user management tools, using 3rd party tools, etc?

You can try posting your last question in the Partner-led tech topics and questions board and see what other partners are doing.
Are you not able to select a different linked tenant from your profile, top right of Partner Centre? You would then get logged in as a guest to another tenant. In destination tenant, someone will have to give this guest account correct permissions/roles in https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/account/v3/usermanagement
It's possible to use a guest account to gain access to certain areas of the Microsoft Partner Center CSP site. However, when you dig into Customers > pick a customer > Service Management > click on a service to administer (ex. Microsoft 365), the context is lost and that admin portal doesn't present information for that customer's tenant. I forget now if it presents information about the home tenant of the logged in account or the tenant of the CSP Partner portal.
