# Set up your organization in Partner Center

> Connect a Microsoft Entra ID tenant to Partner Center and add team members so your studio can access secure XBOX documentation, downloads, and forums.

Set up your organization in Partner Center with a free Microsoft Entra ID so members of your team can access secure XBOX resources such as documentation, downloads, and forums.

If you already have a Microsoft Entra tenant, you can [associate it with Partner Center](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/publish/associate-azure-ad-with-partner-center).

## Before you begin

* A Partner Center account onboarded for XBOX development. See [ID@XBOX onboarding](/home/onboarding) if you haven't completed this step.

## Connect Microsoft Entra ID

1. Sign in to Partner Center as the account owner and open **Account settings** from the top-right gear menu.
2. Under **Organization profile** > **Tenants**, check the **Partner** and **Developer** tabs to see if a Microsoft Entra tenant is already configured.
3. If no tenant is associated, select **Create Microsoft Entra ID** to create one free of charge.
4. Fill in the details to create a tenant under the `yourOrganization.onmicrosoft.com` domain.
5. Note the Global Administrator account. Partner Center creates it specifically to manage the Microsoft Entra ID.
6. Sign in as the Partner Center account owner and select **Add user** to add users.
7. Have each user verify they can access the [XBOX Game Development Home](https://aka.ms/xgd).

## Manage users

Go to **User management** in **Account settings** while signed in with a Manager account for the relevant Microsoft Entra tenant.

### Add existing users

1. Select **Add existing users**.
2. Select one or more users from the directory.
3. Assign **Roles**. Most teams use the **Developer** role. See [Set roles or custom permissions](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/uwp/publish/set-custom-permissions-for-account-users).
4. Select **Save**.

<Tip>
  When you add multiple users at once, they all receive the same role. To assign different roles, repeat the process per role.
</Tip>

### Create new users

<Note>
  You must be signed in with a Global Administrator account to create new users.
</Note>

1. Go to **Users** > **Add users** > **Create new users**.
2. Enter first name, last name, and username.
3. Optionally make the user a Global Administrator of your Microsoft Entra ID.
4. Select group membership and roles.
5. Select **Save** and copy the temporary password from the confirmation page.

### Invite outside users

<Note>
  Inviting outside users requires Global Administrator. Outside users cannot perform certain Visual Studio tasks, such as Store associations and package uploads. For those, use **Create new users**.
</Note>

1. Go to **Users** > **Add users** > **Invite users by email**.
2. Enter up to 10 email addresses, separated by commas or semicolons.
3. Assign roles and select **Save**.

Invited users receive an email, and Microsoft Entra adds them as guest users in your tenant. To resend, find the user on the **Users** page and select **Resend invitation**.

## Troubleshoot access

### Don't use nested groups

Partner Center doesn't support nested groups (a group inside another group). Add users through flat groups or directly.

### Delete and re-add

If you suspect a user wasn't added correctly, select **Delete** next to their name and then **Delete from account**. Re-add them and reapply their roles.
