2. Select the Billing account where the new subscription gets created.

1. Select the Advanced tab.
2. Select your Subscription directory. It's the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) where the new subscription gets created.
3. Select a Management group. It's the Azure AD management group that the new subscription is associated with. You can only select management groups in the current directory.
4. Select one or more Subscription owners. You can select only users or service principals in the selected subscription directory. You can't select guest directory users. If you select a service principal, enter its App ID.

1. Select Review + create. You should see a message stating Validation passed.
2. Verify that the subscription information is correct, then select Create. A notification that the subscription is getting created is shown.

After the new subscription is created, the owner of the subscription can see it in on the Subscriptions page.

Who is the role can create it?
A user with Owner or Contributor role can create an Azure subscription.

Can Global admin create a subscription pay-as-you-go?
Global admin is a role at the directory level - Azure Active Directory. Global admin can perform any operation within the directory scope. However, creating an Azure subscription requires a user permission such as Owner or Contributor.

Reference doc link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/create-subscription

Note: Global admin can also create an Azure subscription, provided the user also has subscription level permissions like Owner or Contributor.

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A community forum!

In your tenant you can add as many subscriptions as you want, just go in the subsrciptions tab

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Billing/CatalogBlade/appId/AddSubscriptionButton

click on add subscription and choose an offer for your subscription, in your case Pay-As-You-Go.

You need the following permissions to create subscriptions for a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA):

• Owner or contributor role on the invoice section, billing profile or billing account. Or Azure subscription creator role on the invoice section.
