Can custom models built with Document Intelligence Studio be transferred from one Azure subscription to another

Question

My company is building a document intelligence front end for our workflow/content management system. We plan to use our own Azure Subscription and resources for our customers' to simplify set up for them (they won't need their own Azure subscriptions) and to gain the advantage of aggregate volume pricing.

However, for custom model building, we wish for our reseller partners and professional services team to use Document Intelligence Studio. (I think) we need to do one of the following:

• Have partners / PS team use a different Azure subscription for model building and provide a way to upload their models to our resources to use them. (Per the Title, above.)
• Find a secure way that allows partners / PS team to use Document Intelligence Studio on our Azure subscription without giving away "the keys to the kingdom".

This doesn't seem like a simple Q&A. I hope to discuss with a Microsoft Sales Engineer or Solutions Specialist or other appropriate resource.

Answer 1

Hello Ira Whitman,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would like to meet requirements for building a document intelligence front end while ensuring secure access for your partners and professional services team.

Most of all, there are many complex issues more than this that has been solved on this community.

Secondly, regarding your questions:

Have partners / PS team use a different Azure subscription for model building and provide a way to upload their models to our resources to use them. (Per the Title, above.)

You will need to use different Azure subscription for model building for Partners/PS Team and provide a secure method for partners/PS team to upload their trained models to your primary Azure resources. This will help to isolates the model-building environment, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to your main resources. https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/main/articles/ai-services/document-intelligence/how-to-guides/compose-custom-models.md

Find a secure way that allows partners / PS team to use Document Intelligence Studio on our Azure subscription without giving away "the keys to the kingdom"

You will have to implement RBAC to grant specific permissions to partners/PS team without exposing sensitive resources and use managed identities to securely access Azure resources without embedding credentials in the code, and also generate SAS tokens to grant restricted access to specific resources for a limited time https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/document-intelligence/how-to-guides/build-train-custom-generative-model?view=doc-intel-4.0.0

This doesn't seem like a simple Q&A. I hope to discuss with a Microsoft Sales Engineer or Solutions Specialist or other appropriate resource.
