How do I link CSP tenants to organizations?

It is important to manage linking your 0365 tenants to organizations so you can see all your customers and their CSP services in Cloudmore.  This enables you to manage adds, moves and changes, and allow your customers to self-service.

To get complete billing reports, that correlate with your monthly Microsoft invoice, you must make sure that all customer tenants are linked.  Unlinked tenant’s data will not show in Cloudmore reports making full costs and sales reconciliation impossible.

Follow the instructions below to learn how to Link O365 tenants to organizations.

Pre-requisites

You must have finished your CSP setup to complete this step.

You only need to link tenants when new customer’s tenants are created via the Microsoft Partner Center.  When new tenants are created via Cloudmore this process is automatic. 

1. Go to Microsoft O365 CSP direct

Log in to Cloudmore.  Navigate to your  Broker menu > My services >Microsoft O365 CSP direct.

2. Link Tenant To Organization

Click on Link Tenant To Organization.

3. Tenant alert

Cloudmore will discover all existing CSP tenants and will show an alert highlighting the number that are not linked to an organization. You should regularly monitor this alert to make sure all tenants are matched as unlinked tenants will not show in the billing reports and Cloudmore will not generate billing data for these customers.
