Inviting Pre-Registered Customers by Emails

A partner can send an email to invite a pre-registered customer for association.

By default, you can associate with your customers in the reseller model in Partner Center. If you need to enable the referral model, contact your ecosystem manager.
If you do not have customer development permissions, contact your ecosystem manager.
