For Azure partners (CSP account), a customer can display a billing dashboard without using Azure's compute features in the platform.

To display the dashboard, the customer does not need to create an Application in the provider, and you can enter credentials without the app_id attribute.

Before you begin:

1. From Azure, obtain the Subscription ID and the Tenant ID

   1. If you are using Azure plans, the Subscription ID must be under the Azure plan subscription, NOT the main Azure plan Subscription ID

2. In Abiquo, check that the customer enterprise has a reseller enterprise in the same scope hierarchy

   1. The reseller enterprise must have valid Credentials on the Pricing tab because the platform will validate the customer Subscription and TenantId using the reseller's credentials

To add customer credentials for billing only:

...

Go to Users

...

Edit the customer enterprise and go to Credentials → Public

...

Select the appropriate Azure provider

Enter the credentials in the following format

...

Access key ID:

Subscription##TenantID

...

Under an Azure customer with a key-node enterprise, you can add an individual Azure subscription to a standard enterprise.

This will give a customer access to billing features only, for their subscription (including dashboard display, and billing of Office 365).

To add an Azure subscription for billing only:

1. Edit a standard enterprise, and go to Credentials → Public

2. For the Access key ID, enter the customer’s subscription details in this format: Subscription##TenantID
   For Azure plans, the Subscription ID must be from under an Azure plan subscription, NOT the main Azure plan Subscription.

3. For the Secret access key, enter any value

4. Select Only for billing
