Cancel an Azure subscription

Applies to: Partner Center | Partner Center operated by 21Vianet | Partner Center for Microsoft Cloud for US Government

If compromise or abuse, partners with Azure customer subscriptions can cancel the subscriptions directly from Partner Center portal or by API, shutting down suspicious activity discovered in their Azure plan subscriptions.

This API will cancel an Azure subscription. If partners want to cancel more than one subscription, they need to separately call the API to cancel each one.

If partners want to suspend their Azure plan, they should use the existing API available, Update a subscription by ID.

Cancelling Azure plan isn't supported by the following API.

Partners must be Global Administrators with Admin Agent roles to cancel.

Prerequisites

  • Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication This scenario supports authentication with both standalone App and App+User credentials.

  • Customer_id.

  • Subscription_id.

  • Entitlement_id.

C#

To cancel an Azure subscription, you need to identify your customer ID, subscription ID, and entitlement ID for that subscription.
