The Work 365 Partner Center Integration enables Partner Center data, such as subscriptions, agreements, and provider invoices, to have a bi-directional sync with Work 365.
Setting up the Work 365 Partner Center integration is only applicable to Direct CSP Partner.
It is recommended to create a separate Partner Center integration account from the Work 365 service account.
Creating the Integration Account
The following steps describe the process of creating the Integration account. For creating the service account, please refer to this link.
Login to Microsoft Partner Center (https://partnercenter.microsoft.com) using Global Administrator credentials and select “User Management” from the top-right menu.
On the User Management screen, click the “Add User” button and type the name and login for the integration account user. In the “Assists your customers as” section, select “Admin agent”. Then click the “Add” button at the bottom of the screen.
At his point, a summary screen with a temporary password would be displayed. This password will need to be changed upon the first login. However, since this is an automation account, the password needs to be set to a permanent non-expiring one before it can be used in the configuration.
To reset a user’s password, please follow instructions in the below link. Ensure that “Make this user change their password when they first sign in” is UNCHECKED.

Collecting Additional Partner Center Information
From the top-right menu, select “Organization profile.
Note the Microsoft ID and Default domain values. These will be required later.
Configuring the Partner Center Provider using Direct Credentials
The Work 365 partner center provider can be configured using a username/password combination for the integration account. This method works in all versions of Work 365; however, it is likely that Microsoft will disallow this method in the future. For this reason, with new installs and upgrades to v2.1 or higher, we recommend configuring the Partner Center provider using the Consent Framework.
Additional Configuration in Partner Center
Select “Organization profile” from the top-right menu, then select “App Management” from the left menu.
Scroll to the Native App section. If an existing app is available and can be used, note the App ID for that app; alternatively, create a new native app by clicking the “Add new native app” link and note the App ID for that app.
Configuring the provider in Work 365
Go to Dynamics 365 Navigation menu ▶ Work 365 ▶ Provider Management ▶ Providers.
Click and open the existing “Microsoft Partner Center” provider, or create a new provider (of type Work365.Providers.MicrosoftCspProvider) if you need to connect to multiple partner centers (Each provider connects to one Partner Center).
Complete the details on the form as given below

Configuring the Partner Center using the Consent Framework
This method of Partner Center configuration is only available in Work 365 v2.1 or higher and is the recommended approach for connecting to Partner Center. Note: MFA for the Partner Center Integration account MUST be enabled.
Go to Dynamics 365 Navigation menu ▶ Work 365 ▶ Provider Management ▶ Providers.
Click and open the existing “Microsoft Partner Center” provider, or create a new provider as detailed in the previous steps (of type Work365.Providers.MicrosoftCspProvider) if you need to connect to multiple partner centers (Each provider connects to one Partner Center).
The “Generate Consent Link” button should now appear – click this link to open a popup window with the consent instructions.
Click the link 
icon to copy the consent link to the clipboard. Paste the link into a new private browser window (use Incognito/InPrivate browsing mode) and follow the instructions for consent. Login with the Integration Account when prompted, confirm the MFA, and accept the consent request as the integration user.
MFA enablement MUST be done before the consent is given in order for the consent process to be completed. Furthermore, the MFA MUST be prompted during the consent process in order for the consent to be successful.
If the consent was successful, the following message should be displayed.
Click on the “Verify Connectivity” button. If the settings are correct, you should receive a successful confirmation; if the connectivity fails, check your settings and try again.
