How to get Microsoft Entra ID P1 under the Microsoft Azure Sponsorship Subscription

Question

We're a startup under the Microsoft For Startups Founders' Hub, which provides a Microsoft Azure Sponsorship subscription.

We would like to use Microsoft Entra ID for some of our user accounts' management use cases. However, when we tried to assign our employees to groups, we got an error that we can't, due to our Azure Active Directory plan. Therefore we have a two-part question:

1. Does our Microsoft Azure Sponsorship also cover pro benefits, say the P1 version of the Microsoft Entra ID?
2. If so, how can we do this, because so far I noticed that our Microsoft Entra ID is still under the free license?

Answer 1

@93598145 Thank you for reaching out to us, As per this - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/offers/ms-azr-0036p Active directory premium is excluded as per part of this subscription.

However would recommend to have a conversation with customer success manager (who might be aligned) CSMs work with startups to determine the licensing type that best meets their needs.

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
