If you sign in with an Entra ID account, your entire organization's tenant is onboarded — meaning other users from the same tenant can also access Partner Center once appropriate roles are assigned. |

> * **Tenant-wide onboarding**: When you sign in with an Entra ID account and complete onboarding, your entire Azure AD tenant is onboarded. All users in your organization's tenant are marked as having an active developer account. However, only the user who completes the onboarding process receives Owner permissions by default in Partner Center. Other tenant users will need to be assigned roles (Developer, Manager, Owner, etc.) by an Owner or Manager through [Partner Center → Account settings → User management.](../publish/partner-center/manage-users-in-partner-center.md)

> * **If your organization's tenant is already onboarded**: If someone in your organization has already completed company account onboarding using an Entra ID account, and you sign in with your own Entra ID account from the same tenant, you will be redirected to Partner Center. However, you may not see the Apps & Games workspace in Partner Center. This is expected unless an Owner or Manager has given you the necessary permissions.

This typically means someone else in your organization has already completed company account onboarding, and your tenant is already registered. You've been redirected to Partner Center, but you haven't been assigned a role yet. Contact your account Owner or Manager and ask them to assign you a role (such as Developer, Manager, or Owner) through [Partner Center → Account settings → User management.](../publish/partner-center/manage-users-in-partner-center.md) If you're unsure who the Owner or Manager is, check with your Azure AD tenant administrator.
