What are the potential security implications of PAL association for the customer, if any?

Question

We asked the customer to add our Microsoft Partner ID and they would not do it mentioning potential security implications for them? Is there any knowledge information available about this issue?

Thanks!

Hello Yury Yurchanka, PAL association only adds partners' PartnerID to the credential already provisioned. It doesn't alter any permissions (Azure role) or provide extra Azure service data to the partner or Microsoft. You can provide an explicit mention of this to your customer from official Microsoft reference - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/membership/link-partner-id-for-azure-performance-pal-dpor#does-pal-association-affect-the-security-of-a-customers-azure-environment
