Registration

During the registration process, the service will attempt to match your email with an active account that exists on your platform. If there are matches, a profile for the GDAP solution will be created.

Enter your email, Firstname and Lastname then click on "Submit"

The email confirmation should look like this, we can now proceed with obtaining credentials.

Account Activation and Recovery

This is going to be a 2-step process.

Step 1: Type in your email and click "Submit" without filling in the Security Code field.

You will now receive a one-time security code that will enable you to request new credentials.

Step 2: Enter your security code in the second field, and make sure that the email field is also filled in with your email address. Click "Submit"

If the provided code is correct you will now receive an email with the new password.

You may also check the Logs tab for the same information that is returned during the process.

Login

If everything goes smoothly, you will receive informative prompts about the results of the login process and a few new controls will be unlocked that you will be able to operate with.

Summary

The GDAP solution user journey covers registration, account recovery, and login with informational guidance at each step. Requirements include permissions from production tenants (sandbox environments require contacting support), a Platform connected to a Microsoft Partner Tenant (Tier 1 or Tier 2, with only Tier 2 Distributor Administrators eligible for registration, not Seller Admins under Indirect Resellers), an Active account using Azure Active Directory authentication, and email receiving capability through Exchange. Registration matches your email with an active Platform account to create a GDAP profile using email, firstname, and lastname, followed by email confirmation. Account activation and recovery is a two-step process: submit your email without the security code field to receive a one-time security code via email, then submit both email and security code to receive new credentials via email, with process information available in the Logs tab. Login involves entering the newly obtained password to unlock new operational controls, with informative prompts displaying login process results throughout.
