Overview

TD SYNNEX is an authorized Cloud Solution Provider (CSP2) and uses our Microsoft Partner Center to managed customers identities in their Azure AD tenant or Microsoft Identity (Tenant ID). A CSP Azure subscription (or account) must be associated under a customer organization within your platform account and within TD SYNNEX's Partner Center. 


A Microsoft identity can be an organizations primary domain (abc.com) or some sub-set of their domain (abctest.onmicrosoft.com).  


Note:  Associating a Tenant ID with a platform Customer profile is accomplished in the management console only.  This feature is not available in the end customer storefront (portal).


There are three methods to associate a Microsoft Identity to an ION Customer account.

  • Option 1 - Create new Microsoft Identity
  • Option 2 - Added existing Microsoft Azure AD Identity 


A customer Microsoft ID connects the customer profile created in ION the TD Synnex partner center.
