Microsoft Vetting Process for Academic Customers

Microsoft has discontinued the Authorized Education Partner program in order to facilitate and simplify the transaction of Academic-priced offers and products by our resellers. As a result, the Education reseller qualification for CSP partners is no longer required. Instead, they have introduced a vetting process where the status reflected near real time in the customer’s Partner Center account screen.

From this release our platform is compliant with this new process and we are using Microsoft API for initiating the vetting process when a customer purchases an education plan. We update customer's qualification using the MS API and then, based on Microsoft response, we complete or not the check out process.

Microsoft Tenants Importer - Manual Association between End Customers and Resellers

The "Get Hierarchy" action we introduced in our MS import tool is using the MPNID info, that is kept on the subscriptions, for finding out which are the indirect resellers and for associating tenants with these resellers. But, this process has the following gaps:

If a tenant has no active subscriptions in partner center, he is not related with a reseller and is displayed as direct customer in the results set.
If a reseller is not related with at least one subscription in MS partner center, is not collected from the "Get Hierarchy" process.

These gaps have as a result our tool not to be able to import tenants below their resellers if there isn't at least one subscription that "binds" them.

In this release we covered these gaps but introducing new actions for manually associating resellers with tenants:

You can now add a new reseller in the matrix list of "Get Hierarchy" using the "Add Reseller" action
You can assign tenants to a reseller using the "Assign Reseller" action
