For Office 365 and CRM Online you need Delegated Admin Privileges (DAP) for your customer’s subscription, then assign a user administrative access to companies you support, click Partner to enter the Partner Admin Center, select your customer and click + to create a support request

For Azure you need a sign-in for the customer’s Azure subscription and Administrator / write permissions, then Link Existing Benefits and enter the Access ID and Contract ID for your benefits. Learn how to request your Access ID and Contract ID.
