When you established a reseller relationship with a customer in Partner Center and specified which people from your organization will assist that customer's tenant as either Delegated Administrator or Helpdesk Administrator, these employees can:

  • Manage implementation, support, and troubleshooting tasks for your customers.
  • Login into the Business Central environments of the customer without a license.

The number of partner employees that can access customer environments is not restricted.

If the customer does not need delegated admin help continuously, the customer can restrict access for the partner employees into the customer's environment. You must, however inform the customer that removing your administrator permissions means you will no longer be able to:

  • Open a service request to Microsoft on their behalf.
  • You will not be able to open these types of service requests on the customer's behalf until you renegotiate your agreement with the customer.
