How to solve it?

Answer 1

The message indicates that the Partner Center account is deactivated and access is blocked at the account/tenant level, not due to a simple sign-in error. Resolution requires an administrator or Microsoft support to restore access; it cannot be fixed from the user side alone.

Use these steps depending on the situation:

1. Confirm correct account and tenant
   • Make sure the correct work account is being used (not a personal Microsoft account) and that the correct Microsoft Entra tenant/directory is selected.
   • If signed in but missing expected Partner Center capabilities, switch to the work account associated with the Partner Center tenant. See “Confirm that you're using the correct credentials to sign in.”
2. If unable to sign in or account is deactivated
   • If sign-in to Partner Center is blocked, create a support ticket without signing in using the “create a support ticket without signing in” option described in Troubleshoot sign-in issues and account access problems.
   • If there is a global admin in the organization, that admin must contact Microsoft support or use the documented account-access flows to restore access.
3. If the user is the only global admin
   • Follow the “Solve account access problems” guidance:
     • If the user is the only global admin on the account, contact the Azure Data Protection team using the phone channel listed in the article.
     • If the company has no global admin, contact the Microsoft 365 Data Protection team via the regional support number listed under “Get support - Microsoft 365 admin” and request help regaining admin access.
4. If the organization is a CSP partner
   • CSP partners should follow Which support portal should I use?:
     • If locked out or experiencing account access problems, follow the link to Troubleshoot sign-in issues and account access problems and open a support case.
     • Indirect resellers must contact their Indirect Provider for all such scenarios.
5. If access is blocked by conditional access or tenant restrictions
   • If any “Access restricted due to conditional access policy” or “Your network administrator has blocked access”/tenant restrictions messages appear in related flows, only the organization’s Azure/Entra administrator can change those policies. The admin must review and adjust conditional access or tenant restriction policies as described in the referenced documentation.
6. If none of the above applies
   • Use the business support channels listed under Support for Business Products or Global Customer Service phone numbers to open a ticket, providing:
     • The error text indicating the Partner Center account is deactivated.
     • The correlation ID, correlation vector, and timestamp from the error page.
   • Microsoft support (Data Protection or Partner Center support, depending on tenant type) must review and, if possible, reactivate or otherwise remediate the Partner Center account.

Because the account is deactivated, only an administrator or Microsoft support can resolve it; self-service steps inside Partner Center will not work until the account is re-enabled.
