Creating an enterprise account as a Microsoft CSP partner

Learn how to set up an enterprise account for your customer as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider partner.

本文内容

As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partner, you can create an enterprise account on GitHub on behalf of your customer. You can also invite your customer to become an enterprise owner.

Requirements

Before you start, make sure you know:

  • The GitHub username of the client who will become the owner of the enterprise account you create
  • The GitHub username for the CSP partner that must be assigned to the customer’s enterprise account to manage metered billing and access support
  • The name your client would like to use for the enterprise account
  • The email address where you would like receipts to be sent

Step 1: Create the enterprise account

As a Microsoft CSP partner, you can get started with GitHub Enterprise from the Microsoft Azure portal.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Azure portal.
  2. In the search bar, type "GitHub" and select GitHub to go the landing page.
  3. Select Get started with GitHub Enterprise.
  4. Choose an enterprise type. To help you decide which choice is best for the enterprise, see 为 GitHub Enterprise Cloud 选择企业类型.
  5. Complete the form with your client's information.
  6. Click Create your enterprise.

Step 2: Purchase GitHub Enterprise

At any time during the trial, you can purchase GitHub Enterprise for your client by linking it to their Azure subscription. If the account is later transferred to the customer, ensure the Azure subscription is fully managed by them.

  1. At the top of the page, in the blue banner, click Activate Enterprise.

  2. Click Add Azure subscription.

  3. To sign in to your Microsoft account, follow the prompts.

  4. Review the "Permissions requested" prompt. If you agree with the terms, click Accept.

    If you don't see a "Permissions requested" prompt, and instead see a message indicating that you need admin approval, see Connecting an Azure subscription.

  5. Under "Select a subscription", select the Azure Subscription ID that you want to connect to your organization. 要选择 Azure 订阅，必须对订阅拥有所有者权限。 如果默认租户没有正确的权限，则可能需要指定其他租户 ID。 有关详细信息，请参阅“前提条件”和 Microsoft Docs 中的“Microsoft 标识平台和 OAuth 2.0 授权代码流”。

    1. 选择“通过单击‘连接’，代表你确认希望通过所选 Azure 订阅对按流量计费的服务计费”****。
    2. 单击“连接”。

  6. Click Activate Enterprise.

Step 3: Invite your client as an enterprise owner

Invite your client to become an enterprise owner. See 邀请人员管理企业.

Step 4: Change your role to billing manager

Optionally, you can change your role to billing manager to manage the billing for the enterprise account, without having full administrative access.

  1. 在页面顶部，单击“ People”****。

  2. 在“ 人员”下，单击“管理员”。

  3. 确认客户已被列为企业所有者。

  4. 在用户名右侧，选择 下拉菜单，然后单击“更改角色”。
