To accept a private offer on the Microsoft commercial marketplace, the buyer must meet the following prerequisites:

• Holding the Owner or Contributor role in the organization's main Azure Account on the subscription (not Marketplace account) is essential to subscribe to the private offer.
• The buyer needs to be logged into the Azure account designated in the private offer.
• The Microsoft private offer should be based on a public plan that is available in the buyer's market. When creating a private offer, verify the market location of the buyer's billing account and select the appropriate market.

The permissions required to accept and purchase are summarized in the following table:
