How to request a reseller relationship from a customer in Partner Center
Appropriate roles: Admin agent
If you want to manage a customer's service or subscription on their behalf, the customer must grant administrator permissions for that service or subscription and sign the Microsoft Customer Agreement.
If you want to establish a reseller relationship with a customer and to manage only the Azure subscriptions that you provision, you don't need to obtain administrator permissions.
Note
The option to not request permissions is not available to partners operating in Microsoft Cloud for US Government or Microsoft Cloud Germany.
