Admin‑On‑Behalf‑Of issue when purchasing subscription
Hello everyone! I want to reach out to you on the internet and ask if anyone has the same issue as we do when creating PAYG Azure subscriptions in a customer's tenant, in which we have delegated access via GDAP through PartnerCenter. It is a bit AI formatted question. When an Azure NCE subscription is created for a customer via an Indirect Provider portal, the CSP Admin Agent (foreign principal) is not automatically assigned Owner on the subscription. As a result: AOBO (Admin‑On‑Behalf‑Of) does not activate The subscription is invisible to the partner when accessing Azure via Partner Center service links The partner cannot manage and deploy to a subscription they just provided This breaks the expected delegated administration flow. Expected Behavior For CSP‑created Azure subscriptions: The CSP Admin Agent group should automatically receive Owner (or equivalent) on the subscription AOBO should work immediately, without customer involvement The partner should be able to see the subscription in Azure Portal and deploy resources Actual Behavior Observed For Azure NCE subscriptions created via an Indirect Provider: No RBAC assignment is created for the foreign AdminAgent group The subscription is visible only to users inside the customer tenant Partner Center role (Admin Agent foreign group) is present, but without Azure RBAC. Required Customer Workaround For each new Azure NCE subscription, the customer must: Sign in as Global Admin Use “Elevate access to manage all Azure subscriptions and management groups” Assign themselves Owner on the subscription Manually assign Owner to the partner’s foreign AdminAgent group Only after this does AOBO start working. Example Partner tries to access the subscription: https://portal.azure.com/#@customer.onmicrosoft.com/resource/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/overview But there is no subscription visible "None of the entries matched the given filter" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/elevate-access-global-admin?tabs=azure-portal%2Centra-audit-logs#step-1-elevate-access-for-a-global-administrator from the customer's global admin. and manual RBAC fix in Cloud console: az role assignment create \ --assignee-object-id "<AdminAgent-Foreign-Group-ObjectId>" \ --role "Owner" \ --scope "/subscriptions/<subscription-id>" \ --assignee-principal-type "ForeignGroup" After this, AOBO works as expected for delegated administrators (foreign user accounts). Why This Is a Problem Partners sell Azure subscriptions that they cannot access Forces resources from customers to involvement from customers Breaks delegated administration principles For Indirect CSPs managing many tenants, this is a decent operational blocker. Key Question to Microsoft / Community Does anyone else struggle with this? Is this behavior by design for Azure NCE + Indirect CSP? Am I missing some point of view on why not to do it in the suggested way?
OneDrive Issues
The OneDrive on my laptop isn't allowing me to upload any files as it is saying I don't have any storage available, but when I open OneDrive on the browser, it shows more than sufficient storage as I pay the subscription fee. Is there any reason as to why this is happening? I have contacted Microsoft support, which have been no help at all, giving solutions to problems which is not the issue I'm experiencing. The Microsoft support page is no help at all and trying to raise a support ticket is more or less impossible as the website keeps blocking the request. Now bear in mind i have went again and paid the subscription fee now for a second time to see if this fixed the problem, and no luck, took the money and no difference. I have uninstalled OneDrive from my laptop, I have reset the onedrive, i have tried all imaginable tasks, with no help from Microsoft Support. Does anyone have any solutions to this? Also, would anyone know how to get in contact to get the refund for the duplicate subscription fee?Managing Preferences and Notifications

I was renewing my Microsoft Action Pack by clicking on the renew button, which I've been doing for a couple of years. This time, it seems that during the process, Microsoft introduced the Partner Launch, which was tricky because I was sure I clicked on the renew button under Microsoft Action Pack. This led me to subscribe to the Partner Launch instead. After contacting Microsoft Support, they said that I can't switch my subscription or get a refund since I've already redeemed a benefit. If that happened on purpose, I understand. But as a lifelong loyal Microsoft customer and partner, I can't stand the idea that I was tricked (in one way or another).
Basic subscription 100 TB?
Hello, I was looking at the Onedrive subscriptions on the website and noticed that when clicking on the 'get more storage space' button, located at the top right and bottom left of the page, the Basic subscription says to offer 100 TB, whereas when clicking on the 'manage storage' button, then clicking on 'subscriptions and upgrades' at the left, the Basic subscription says to offer 100 GB. I assume the last one is correct as 100 TB seems too good to be true for 2 euros per month 😅. I wanted to report this as a problem with the 'Report a problem' button, but I get to a blank page.
subscription missed from listing
Hi, I met a problem when I wanted to list subscriptions I created. I created and updated some subscriptions and I can get details about those subscription using https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions/{id}, (those subscriptions are valid). However when I tried to list all my subscriptions using https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions, I cannot find some subscriptions from list values. Can anyone tell me what cause this issue? Some details about this problem: I can get subscription details when I input subscription id but when I list subscriptions, there is only one in value and is not what I wantQuestions about Deparments and Accounts (patterns) for Azure Enrollments
Hi guys, while thinking about which "Department/Account" Setup methodology is the best for our organization, there appear some questions from my site. As you know, there are three common patterns for Azure Enrollments (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/cloud-adoption/appendix/azure-scaffold#departments-and-accounts). In additional to these 3 options (functional, business unit, geographic) there is one more way like this: Enterprise -> Accounts -> Subscriptions This is an away, without creating a Department before. My questions are: Questions to deparment: What are the advantage of building a pattern with Deparments? I mean, why should I create it Departments, when a direct connections between (Enterprise and Accounts) is possible? What disatvantage has a pattern like Enterprise -> Accounts -> Subscriptions (without deparments)? Due to the reason, that deparments are not deletable (only set to inactive) and one department name, which was in use, isn't usable anymore for new active deparment I tought that we could set the Name of the deparment like this: "Department 1", "Department 2", "Department 3" etc. The knowledge which department is which deparment in our organization we would do this information in two place: 1) in cost center of the deparment 2) in our internal documentation. Question here: Is there any reason or any restriction to information, if we would do it described above? Questions to Subscription: Is in a EA offer possible, to move one or more Subscription from one Deparment A to department B ? If yes, with or without downtime? Questions to Accounts: Is it possible to assign mutiple Account to one Department? Is it possible to move one Account assigned to Department A to Department B with all their Subscriptions? If yes, with or without downtime? Please let me know if you need some more informations. Thank you for your reply in advance.
