Register with the CSP Partner program and view cost data

As a CSP partner, you can register with Cloudyn. Your registration provides access to the Cloudyn portal. This quickstart details the registration process needed to create a Cloudyn trial subscription and sign in to the Cloudyn portal. It also shows you how to start viewing cost data right away.

[!NOTE]

Only CSP Direct partners and CSP Indirect Providers can complete Cloudyn registration.

Configuring the Partner Center API is required for authentication and data access. A Partner Center Global Administrator account is needed to provision API access. For more information, see Connect to the Partner Center API.

Access to Cloudyn can be made available to CSP Indirect Resellers after their CSP Indirect Provider registers with Cloudyn. CSP Indirect Resellers can then provide Cloudyn access to Azure customers and subscriptions.

Sign in to Azure

Register with Cloudyn

  1. In the Azure portal, click Cost Management + Billing in the list of services.
  2. Under Overview, click Cloudyn
    Cloudyn page

  14. Click Go to Cloudyn to open the Cloudyn portal and then on the Cloud Accounts Management page, you should see your registered CSP account information.

Configure indirect CSP access in Cloudyn

By default, the Partner Center API is only accessible to direct CSPs. However, a direct CSP provider can configure access for their indirect CSP customers or partners using entity groups in Cloudyn.

To enable access for indirect CSP customers or partners, follow the steps in Create a trial registration to set up a trial registration. Next, complete the following steps to segment indirect CSP data by using Cloudyn entity groups. Then, assign the appropriate user permissions to the entity groups.

  1. Create an entity group with the information at Create entities.
  2. Follow the steps at Assigning subscriptions to Cost Entities. Associate the indirect CSP customer’s account and their Azure subscriptions to the entity that you create previously.
  3. Follow the steps at Create a user with admin access to create a user account with Admin access. Then, ensure the user account has admin access to the specific entities that you created previously for the indirect account.

Indirect CSP partners sign in to the Cloudyn portal using the accounts that you created for them.
