Original authorship has been removed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi, i published an offering of type "Azure Solution Template" consisting of: - 1x Storage Account - 1x Azure Data Factory When customer now tries to install in his customer tenant CSP subscription this is not possible with error (see screenshoot): "This offer is not available for subscriptions from Microsoft Azure Cloud Solution Providers" What's the reasons? Maybe i have missed, but didn't find any documentation of this limitation for azure marketplace solutions?! In Offer Setup there is the option "Resell through CPSs" --> Do i have to activate this? In my current understand this setting controls only if CSP Partner can RESELL and not if the solution is deployable in CSP Subscriptions?! https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace/cloud-solution-providers Update 29.06.2020: i activated now the "Resell through CSPs" Option in offer definition in hope that this resolves the limitation...will see if re-validation is done.'You are not a member of this organization' error when accessing D365 instances (like through an AppSource Test Drive) that are not in home tenant

If I'm a user, with Dynamics 365 in the tenant tied to my local Azure Active Directory -- and I access that D365 environment, and then, using the account I logged in with there, I try to access a D365 instance in a tenant that different -- such as a D365 instance that has been made available to me through an AppSource Test Drive, I will get an error like that below: >>> You are not a member of this organization >>> You (xxx@example.com) do not belong to the organization >>> ORG. Verify the organization name and try to sign in again. >>>> >>> Error Code: notMemberOfOrg The error is actually incorrect; it comes up even though the user IS a member of the D365 org (having been added, for example, via the Test Drive process).

Publishing a SaaS offer for PowerApps a canvas app in AppSource
Hello, We have been trying for many months now to publish our PowerApps canvas apps as a SaaS offer, thereby allowing us to have transactable, licensed customers. Through a lot of effort, we managed to get some support where we were told quite vaguely how to achieve this, but without any meaningful guidance we are struggling as we are a small ISV with expertise in our actual business, and Power Platform. We are not, however, experts in SQL (that's being generous) or in creating APIs which seem to be a requirement to keep track of user licenses and feeding the data to our canvas app. If anyone here has any info on this, or how they might have achieved it themselves it would be massively appreciated, as we can't seem to get there by ourselves and MS support is very difficult to find. It does feel as though the app development part is so much simpler than getting it onto the marketplace, which is surely the wrong way round. Thank you, Craig
