Hey @lukemurraynz

Seems like a great shout. Sine digging reveals that this is the api we need to think about:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/blob/main/specification/managementpartner/resource-manager/Microsoft.ManagementPartner/preview/2018-02-01/ManagementPartner.json

With a good example here:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/blob/main/specification/managementpartner/resource-manager/Microsoft.ManagementPartner/preview/2018-02-01/examples/PutPartnerDetails.json

Several properties are unclear to me though. Can you be of any assistance here to help form the required input variable schema?

Thanks

Can help, input should really only need to be:

• partnerId

The system (at least via the Azure Portal), adds in the rest of the information, ie Partner Name, State etc, so depends on how the API handles it - but partnerId will be the key one.

TenantID may need another input variable needed, but that may be able to be dynamically brought in.

Hi!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Partner Admin Link/partnerId that you link to, a feature of the user account, and not a feature of the subscription? So you wouldn't normally set it for each subscription? Unless we're talking about partnerId for DPOR or what's it called, that I've seen only on EA? Ref. what is discussed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AZURE/comments/z8e07j/comment/j5pcaze/

You can do it at tenant and as subscription, ie different partners could manage different subscriptions.

Would you be able to do a proof of concept using AzAPI based on the subscription resource id that is generated by this module?

Put the PoC resource in the root module for now.

Once we have a confirmed working resource block, I'm happy to add to the subscription module.

Sounds good; give me a few days - I will be flying back to NZ tomorrow.
