Q: I have some questions about private plans. A customer has a main tenant and a number of sub-tenants that tree from the main, and wants to make the private plan available to tenant + sub-tenants.
1) When configuring a private plan using tenant ID (for SaaS or VM) all customers in that tenant will be eligible to purchase it. Will customers in sub-tenants that branch from the main tenant also be eligible to purchase?
2) For Azure Apps which require using subscription ID, is there a way to make these available to an entire tenant + sub-tenants without adding however many subscription IDs from each tenant?
A few additional thoughts on this -
a) private offers have end dates and we would like "permanent" availability of the offer with bespoke prices. We know that private offer end dates can be extended far out into the future but we cannot change these to end early like we can with a private plan.
b) We do not want to create a public plan since the price structure is completely different than all their other public plans and do not want to signal that alternative prices are available.
A:
1) There is not a sub-tenant concept in Azure. Tenant is a security boundary, and there is no implicit trust between tenants. You can have cross-tenant access, but from private plans perspective you need to add every tenant you want to provide their subscription with access to the private plan.
2) No - right now, this is not available.
(a) - partners can always request cancelation of private offers if these are no longer eligible. This is a support-led flow right now.
(b) - partners can always create new plans within a private offer (using the non-pricing attribute flow).
Also please note that if a partner is not tied to Private Plans - when using Private Offers instead, you can specify the customer's billing ID which could include all tenants / subscriptions under that specific Billing ID
