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. |

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.
