Manage hardware dashboard users
This article describes how to manage your hardware dashboard users with Partner Center User Management.
The Partner Center uses Microsoft Entra ID for user management. For some actions, such as creating a new user or deleting a user, use your developer portal Global Admin account credentials. The Global Admin account is the account that was used to register for the Hardware program. If your account was migrated from Sysdev, your Global Admin was notified via e-mail. If you're unsure of your Global Admin credentials contact support. The developer portal Global Admin account credentials aren't the same as the Microsoft Entra ID Global Admin account credentials.
Add existing users
To add existing users, you must have the Manager role assigned to your Partner Center account. As a user with the Manager role in Partner Center, you can add any user who is already associated with your Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
To add existing users:
Sign into Partner Center Account settings with an account that has the Manager role in Partner Center.
On the left menu, select User management.
Select + Add user
Search for and then select the users that you wish to add.
