i have a Question FY26 Indirect reseller security score Can't access it.
I must say that I am a Distributor and my Partners do not have access to the Security page and I want to make sure that they can access it. From what I have found, it only says that it is enforced for direct bill partners, distributors (formerly indirect provider), and indirect resellers. Can you please update this because the FY26 document requires that you Complete the mandatory requirements of the Partner Center security score. Please provide clarity on compliance with the Security requirements. FY26 When I click on the link Adn i see in Security Role i Not see Indirect reseller access On Partner Center Indirect reseller Can't access Even if they are Global Admins, they cannot access it.New FY26 incentive guidelines
Hope someone can share some insights on this, as Microsoft is publishing conflicting messages. Starting October, Microsoft will change the incentive requirements for partners. In the announcement it is stated that partners will earn incentives if they have 25 points in EACH solution area. Source: May 2025 announcements - Partner Center announcements | Microsoft Learn In other presentations published, it stated 25 points in a SPECIFIC solutions area. Source: Microsoft Commerce Incentive Resources Conflicting messages from Microsoft, so which is it? The nuance is a big difference for partners. I'd assume the latter is correct. Also note that the incentives will be split further between solution areas. And note the increased thresholds for Direct Bill partners. Cheers, Martijn
security score requirements > 80 ?
Hi, I’m a distributor and noticed that there has been an update to the One-Page CSP Improvements Campaign – Authorizations One Pager. Previously, the document specified that a security score above 80 was required. However, I noticed that this requirement is no longer mentioned in the latest version I downloaded. Could you please confirm whether this criterion still applies, or if the only current prerequisites are as follows: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) must be enabled for all administrative users in the CSP tenant. A security contact must be designated within Partner Center. Security alerts must be responded to within 24 hours or less (not applicable to indirect reseller partners) I would appreciate your clarification on this matter. Ref https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/security/security-requirements i See On Update Partner Center Have New Tag Topic Mandatory requirements Or actually, just do this and it will pass the requirements section. New One Page Remark : When I click Details, I can't open the file at all Azure Information Protection Even though I signed in with an account Partner to view PDF, I can't open Give message Not Have Permission the file. Please help. Old One PageFY26 incentive payout change
Hope Microsoft can clarify this statement for the new FY26 incentives guides. As Microsoft will introduce an incentive payout change for partners that perform a change of channel (COCP). Does this mean, eg.; if a Direct Bill partner transitions towards becoming a Indirect Reseller, will they lose all incentives (as it's basically a COCP from Direct Bill to Distributor)? For how long are these incentives withhold? For both the Disti and the new Indirect Reseller? All customers? Other example; a Indirect Reseller transitioning from Disti x to Disti Y. Will they again lose all incentives? Both the Disti(s) and the Reseller? How long, all customers, etc.? Last example; a customer transitioning from Indirect Reseller / Direct Bill partner x to Indirect Reseller / Direct Bill partner y. Will the Indirect Reseller (and Disti(?)) / Direct Bill partner lose incentives of this customer? This would have massive impacts in the market and would render the CSP Transfer Request basically capability obsolete, as no Direct Bill or Indirect Reseller would ever change COCP anymore due to loosing incentives. Cheers, Martijn
