Authorize partner to create a partner topic

You must grant your consent to the partner to create partner topics in a resource group that you designate. This authorization has an expiration time. It's effective for the time period you specify between 1 to 365 days.

Important

For a greater security stance, specify the minimum expiration time that offers the partner enough time to configure your events to flow to Event Grid and to provision your partner topic. Your partner won't be able to create resources (partner topics) in your Azure subscription after the authorization expiration time.

Note

Event Grid started enforcing authorization checks to create partner topics around June 30th, 2022.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. In the search bar at the top, enter Partner Configurations, and select Event Grid Partner Configurations under Services in the results.

  3. On the Event Grid Partner Configurations page, select Create Event Grid partner configuration button on the page (or) select + Create on the command bar.

Subscribe to events

First, create an event handler that will handle events from the partner. For example, create an event hub, Service Bus queue or topic, or an Azure function. Then, create an event subscription for the partner topic using the event handler you created.

Create an event handler

To test your partner topic, you'll need an event handler. Go to your Azure subscription and spin up a service that's supported as an event handler such as an Azure Function. For an example, see Event Grid Viewer sample that you can use as an event handler via webhooks.

Subscribe to the partner topic

Subscribing to the partner topic tells Event Grid where you want your partner events to be delivered.

  1. In the Azure portal, type Event Grid Partner Topics in the search box, and select Event Grid Partner Topics.

  2. On the Event Grid Partner Topics page, select the partner topic in the list.

  3. On the Event Grid Partner Topic page for the partner topic, select + Event Subscription on the command bar.

  4. On the Create Event Subscription page, do the following steps:

    1. Enter a name for the event subscription.

    2. For Filter to Event Types, select types of events that your subscription will receive.

    3. For Endpoint Type, select an Azure service (Azure Function, Storage Queues, Event Hubs, Service Bus Queue, Service Bus Topic, Hybrid Connections. etc.), or webhook.

    4. Click the Select an endpoint link. In this example, let's use Azure Event Hubs destination or endpoint.
