This article helps you create a
Microsoft Customer Agreement
subscription for yourself or for someone else in your current Microsoft Entra directory/tenant. You may want another subscription to avoid hitting subscription quota limits, to create separate environments for security, or to isolate data for compliance reasons.
If you want to create a Microsoft Customer Agreement subscription in a different Microsoft Entra tenant, see
Create an MCA subscription request
.
If you want to create subscriptions for Enterprise Agreements, see
Create an EA subscription
. If you're a Microsoft Partner and you want to create a subscription for a customer, see
Create a subscription for a partner's customer
.
Note
You can't provision Azure resources such as subscriptions, virtual machines, Azure web apps, or Azure functions in a Microsoft Entra B2B or Azure AD B2C tenant. You must create those resources in your Microsoft Entra tenant.
Note
Microsoft Online Services Program (MOSP) billing account is no longer able to add Azure subscriptions at
https://signup.azure.com/
.
To learn more about billing accounts and identify your billing account type, see
View billing accounts in Azure portal
.
Permission required to create Azure subscriptions
You need the following permissions to create subscriptions for a Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA):
Owner or contributor role on the invoice section, billing profile or billing account. Or Azure subscription creator role on the invoice section.
For more information, see
Subscription billing roles and task
.
Create a subscription
Use the following procedure to create a subscription for yourself or for someone in the current Microsoft Entra ID. When you're done, the new subscription is created immediately.
Sign in to the
Azure portal
.
Navigate to
Subscriptions
and then select
Add
.
On the Create a subscription page, on the
Basics
tab, type a
Subscription name
.
Select the
Billing account
where the new subscription gets created.
Select the
Billing profile
where the subscription gets created.
Select the
Invoice section
where the subscription gets created.
Next to
Plan
, select
Microsoft Azure Plan for DevTest
if the subscription is used for development or testing workloads. Otherwise, select
Microsoft Azure Plan
.
Select the
Advanced
tab.
Select your
Subscription directory
. It's the Microsoft Entra ID where the new subscription gets created.
Select a
Management group
. It's the Microsoft Entra management group that the new subscription is associated with. You can only select management groups in the current directory.
Select one or more
Subscription owners
. You can select only users or service principals in the selected subscription directory. You can't select guest directory users. If you select a service principal, enter its App ID.
Select the
Tags
tab.
Enter tag pairs for
Name
and
Value
.
Select
Review + create
. You should see a message stating
Validation passed
.
Verify that the subscription information is correct, then select
Create
. A notification that the subscription is getting created is shown.
After the new subscription is created, the owner of the subscription can see it in on the
Subscriptions
page.
View the new subscription
When you created the subscription, Azure created a notification stating
Successfully created the subscription
. The notification also had a link to
Go to subscription
, which allows you to view the new subscription. If you missed the notification, you can view select the bell symbol in the upper-right corner of the portal to view the notification that has the link to
Go to subscription
. Select the link to view the new subscription.
Here's an example of the notification:
Or, if you're already on the Subscriptions page, you can refresh your browser's view to see the new subscription.
Configure Azure Service Health on the new subscription
Azure Service Health alerting is essential alongside your new subscription because it gives you early, personalized awareness of Azure issues that directly affect your environment. Alerting is free, easy to configure and should be considered for all production subscriptions.
Learn More about Azure Service Health
View all subscriptions
If you created a subscription but can't find it in the Subscriptions list view, a view filter might be applied.
To clear the filter and view all subscriptions:
In the Azure portal, navigate to
Subscriptions
.
At the top of the list, select the Subscriptions filter item.
At the top of the subscriptions filter box, select
All
. At the bottom of the subscriptions filter box, clear
Show only subscriptions selected in the portal setting filter
.
Select
Apply
to close the box and refresh the list of subscriptions.
Create subscription in other tenant and view transfer requests
A user with the following permission can create subscriptions in their customer's directory if they're allowed or exempted with subscription policy. For more information, see
Setting subscription policy
.
Billing account owner or contributor
Billing profile owner or contributor
Invoice section owner
When you try to create a subscription for someone in a directory outside of the current directory (such as a customer's tenant), a
subscription creation request
is created.
When the request is created, the subscription owner (the customer) is sent an email letting them know that they need to accept subscription ownership. The email contains a link used to accept ownership in the Azure portal. The customer must accept the request within seven days. If not accepted within seven days, the request expires. The person that created the request can also manually send their customer the ownership URL to accept the subscription.
After the request is created, it's visible in the Azure portal at
Subscriptions
>
View Requests
by the following people:
The tenant global administrator of the source tenant where the subscription provisioning request is made.
The user who made the subscription creation request for the subscription being provisioned in the other tenant.
The user who made the request to provision the subscription in a different tenant than where they make the
Subscription – Alias REST API
call instead of the Azure portal.
The subscription owner in the request who resides in the target tenant doesn't see this subscription creation request on the View requests page. Instead, they receive an email with the link to accept ownership of the subscription in the target tenant.
Anyone with access to view the request can view its details. In the request details, the
Accept ownership URL
is visible. You can copy it to manually share it with the subscription owner in the target tenant for subscription ownership acceptance.
Create an Azure subscription programmatically
You can also create subscriptions programmatically. For more information, see
Create Azure subscriptions programmatically
