Create a new configuration policy for the specified customer

Applies to: Partner Center

How to create a new configuration policy for the specified customer.

Prerequisites

• Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with both standalone App and App+User credentials.

• A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer’s Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).

C#

To create a new configuration policy for the specified customer:

1. Instantiate a new ConfigurationPolicy object as shown in the following code snippet. Then call the IAggregatePartner.Customers.ById method with the customer ID to retrieve an interface to operations on the specified customer.

2. Retrieve the ConfigurationPolicies property to get an interface to configuration policy collection operations.

3. Call the Create or CreateAsync method to create the configuration policy.

C# example

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
// string selectedCustomerId;

var configurationPolicyToCreate = new ConfigurationPolicy
{
    Name = "Test Config Policy",
    Description = "This configuration policy is created by the SDK samples",
    PolicySettings = new List<PolicySettingsType>() {
        PolicySettingsType.OobeUserNotLocalAdmin,
        PolicySettingsType.SkipEula }
};

var createdConfigurationPolicy =
    partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).ConfigurationPolicies.Create(configurationPolicyToCreate);

Sample: Console test app. Project: Partner Center SDK Samples Class: CreateConfigurationPolicy.cs
