Sandbox capabilities for Reseller relationship

This article explains what is supported in the Sandbox for reseller relationships between the partner and the customer.
Prerequisites
- Partner Center account credentials. The sandbox scenario supports authentication with both the 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. Select the Customers workspace from the Partner Center menu. Select the customer from the customer list, then select 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).
- All Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances and software purchase orders must be canceled before deleting a customer from the Tip integration sandbox.
