Authorize partner to create a partner topic

You must grant your consent to the partner to create partner topics in a resource group that you designate. This authorization has an expiration time. It's effective for the time period you specify between 1 to 365 days.

Important

For a greater security stance, specify the minimum expiration time that offers the partner enough time to configure your events to flow to Event Grid and to create your partner topic. Your partner won't be able to create resources (partner topics) in your Azure subscription after the authorization expiration time.

Following example shows the way to create a partner configuration resource that contains the partner authorization. You must identify the partner by providing either its partner registration ID or the partner name. Both can be obtained from your partner, but only one of them is required. For your convenience, the following examples leave a sample expiration time in the UTC format.

Azure portal

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. In the search bar at the top, enter Partner Configurations, and select Event Grid Partner Configurations under Services in the results.

  3. On the Event Grid Partner Configurations page, select Create Event Grid partner configuration button on the page (or) select + Create on the command bar.

  4. On the Create Partner Configuration page, do the following steps:

    1. In the Project Details section, select the Azure subscription and the resource group where you want to allow the partner to create a partner topic.

    2. In the Partner Authorizations section, specify a default expiration time for partner authorizations defined in this configuration.

    3. To provide your authorization for a partner to create partner topics in the specified resource group, select + Partner Authorization link.

  5. On the Add partner authorization to create resources page, you see a list of verified partners. A verified partner is a partner whose identity has been validated by Microsoft. You can select a verified partner, and select Add button at the bottom to give the partner the authorization to add a partner topic in your resource group. This authorization is effective up to the expiration time.

    You also have an option to authorize a non-verified partner. Unless the partner is an entity that you know well, for example, an organization within your company, it's strongly encouraged that you only work with verified partners. If the partner isn't yet verified, encourage them to get verified by asking them to contact the Event Grid team at [email protected].

    1. To authorize a verified partner:

      1. Select the partner from the list.

      2. Specify authorization expiration time.

      3. select Add.

    2. To authorize a nonverified partner, select Authorize non-verified partner, and follow these steps:

      1. Enter the partner registration ID. You need to ask your partner for this ID.

      2. Specify authorization expiration time.

      3. Select Add.

        [!IMPORTANT]
        Your partner won't be able to create resources (partner topics) in your Azure subscription after the authorization expiration time.

  6. Back on the Create Partner Configuration page, verify that the partner is added to the partner authorization list at the bottom.

  7. Select Review + create at the bottom of the page.
