Private plans overview
For some scenarios, your organization might purchase using a private plan. Like private offers, private plans also enable negotiated deal-making but don't support some important private offer capabilities.
Key private plan experience differences include:
- Targeting: Private plans use TenantID instead of Billing Account to align to specific customers.
- Acceptance: Private plans don't use the private offer acceptance experience but share the same subscribe and purchase experience as private offers.
- Role requirements: Billing owner and administrator roles aren't required to purchase; only the subscription owner or contributor role is required.
- Offer types: Private plans don't support virtual machine software reservations (VMSR) or professional offer types.
- Channel selling models: Multi-party and Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) private offers aren't supported.
- Management: Private offer management and Purchase Order tagging aren't supported.
In general, private offers provide more deal-making capabilities and are built to ensure alignment between customer procurement and IT teams.
