Roles Requested:
- Service Support Administrator
- Used to submit Microsoft support cases on behalf of the customer.
- This role is the standard requirement and is requested in all customer support scenarios.
- The approval link for this role is typically configured with a longer validity period.
- Dynamics 365 Business Central Administrator (requested only when applicable)
- Used to support Business Central environments, including cases where access to Sandbox environments is required.

Note: Depending on the scenario, customers may receive either one or two separate approval links, as each role assignment may have a different expiration date.

Below is the GDAP Link, please forward it to your customer. The roles requested are D365 Business Central Administrator and Service
