What are self-service sign-up subscriptions?

There are a limited number of free self-service sign-up subscriptions available for users in your organization to sign up for. A user can only sign up for and use a self-service sign-up subscription for themselves. You manage self-service sign-up subscriptions by blocking users from signing up, and by deleting free subscriptions that users have signed up for. For more information about self-service sign up and the available subscriptions, see Using self-service sign up in your organization.

View a list of self-service sign-up subscriptions

  1. In the admin center, go to the Billing > Your products page.
  2. On the Products tab, select the filter icon, then select Free. A list of all self-service sign-up subscriptions is displayed.

How are these subscriptions different from self-service purchase subscriptions?

Self-service sign-up subscriptions are free and are available for a larger list of products than self-service purchase subscriptions. When a user signs up for a self-service purchase subscription, they're responsible for paying for it. Self-service purchase subscriptions are only available for Power Platform products (Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate), Project, and Visio. For more information, see Self-service purchase FAQ.

Block users from signing up

You use the Set-MsolCompanySettings cmdlet with the AllowAdHocSubscriptions parameter to control whether users can sign up for self-service sign-up subscriptions. For more information, see How do I control self-service settings?

Delete a self-service sign-up subscription

When you delete a self-service sign-up subscription, you block all users from accessing their data and email and delete all data and email.

  1. In the admin center, go to the Billing > Your products page.
  2. On the Products tab, select the filter icon, then select Free.
  3. Select the self-service sign-up subscription that you want to delete.

  5. In the Delete subscription pane, select the check box, then select Delete subscription.

I have a self-service sign-up subscription that blocks directory deletion

The self-service sign-up products that individual users can sign up for also create a guest user for authentication in your Azure AD directory. To avoid data loss, these self-service products block directory deletions until they're fully deleted from the directory. They can only be deleted by the Azure AD admin. For more information, see Delete a directory in Azure Active Directory.
