As an MSP, your onboarding process is similar to that of end customers. 
Therefore, you can follow the same documentation—a step-by-step guide that walks you through the wizard from the moment you receive an activation link to the complete data import—with the articles neatly listed below.

However, there are a couple of differences in some steps, which are highlighted below.

The steps are as follows:

Activation link and Microsoft login

After you receive the activation link via email, log in to your Microsoft 365 account with the Global Administrator role granted, and start the onboarding wizard!

 

Visit the Activation link and Microsoft login step guide

 

 
 

Registration

Review your Microsoft 365 account information, select the data center, and review and accept the terms and conditions.

 

Visit the Registration step guide

 

Please note that in this step the terms and conditions checks are different.

 
 

Consent

Provide consent for the set of permissions required to use the Microsoft Graph API and Office 365 Management API, which are necessary for collecting reporting data from your tenant. 

Additionally, grant CoreView permission to create some read-only service accounts; this ensures that CoreView can gather reporting data effectively.

 

Visit the Grant consent step guide

 

Configuration

Create a Management Service Account and authorize the Graph Management app, two steps that are crucial for using all of CoreView's functionalities.

Check

Simulate the import process to verify whether CoreView can import data using the new service accounts.

Invoicing details

As an MSP, you have this additional step.

Here, you are required to fill in your company's billing information, starting with the address.

Then, you have two options for your payment method:

  1. Direct: if payments should be addressed directly to you
  2. Distributor: if payments should be addressed to a distributor

Direct

If you select Direct , you will be asked to enter your information and billing details.

Distributor

If you select this option, based on the country previously selected in the address section, a drop-down menu will appear with a list of distributors in that country. From here, you can select the distributor you would address the payment to.

 
 

Data import

Just wait for the data to be imported from your Microsoft 365 tenant to your CoreView tenant!

Provide additional consents

After onboarding,  if you have not already provided them, you will be able to grant additional consents. These consents are necessary to properly utilize the features and add-ons of CoreView.
