Manage groups in your Partner Center account

To manage groups in your Partner Center account, go to the User management page under Account settings and select the Groups tab. You must be signed in with a Manager account that also has global administrator permissions for the Microsoft Entra ID tenant you're working in.

To add groups, you will have additional options described below.

Create user group

1. From the User management page (under Account settings), click on Add user group, then choose Create user group.
2. Enter the display name and an optional description for the new group, then click Next.
3. In the Users in this group section, select the user(s) to assign to the new group from the list that appears, then click Next.
4. In the Roles applicable to developer programs section, specify the role(s) or customized permissions for the group.
5. Click Create.

Add user group

You can select groups that already exist in your organization's tenant and give them access to your Partner Center account.

1. From the User management page (under Account settings), click on Add user group, then choose Add user group.

2. Select one or more groups from the list that appears. You can use the search box to find specific groups.

   Tip

   If you select more than one group to add to your Partner Center account, you must assign them the same role or set of custom permissions. To add multiple groups with different roles or permissions, repeat these steps for each role or set of custom permissions.

3. When you have finished selecting groups, click Next.

4. In the Roles applicable to developer programs section, specify the role(s) or customized permissions for the selected group(s).

5. Click Add.

Edit a group

1. From the User management page (under Account settings), click on the group that you want to edit.
2. Make your desired changes. For a group, you can edit the group's display name and description. To update group membership, add or remove users in the Users in this group section. Remember that these changes will be made in your organization's directory as well as in your Partner Center account.
3. For changes related to Partner Center access, select or deselect the role(s) that you want to apply, or select Customize permissions and make the desired changes. These changes only impact Partner Center access and will not change any permissions within your organization's Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
4. Click Update.

Remove a group

1. From the User management page (under Account settings), select the group that you want to remove.
2. Click on Delete.
3. After confirming the removal, that group will no longer have access to your Partner Center account (unless you add it again later).
