When you click Add Tenant from the navbar, Petra gives you two options.

Partner Center

Connect your CSP account and onboard tenants in bulk through your existing GDAP relationships. No client action required.

Add Individually

Add a single tenant by signing in as (or sending a link to) the tenant’s Global Admin.
If you manage client tenants through Microsoft Partner Center, the Partner Center method is recommended. It lets you see all your managed tenants in one table and onboard them without needing each client’s Global Admin to approve individually.

​
Via Partner Center

Partner Center integration connects Petra to your CSP account so you can discover, onboard, and manage all of your GDAP-managed tenants from a single page.
  1. Click Add Tenant and choose Continue with Partner Center (or go directly to app.petrasecurity.com/portal).
  2. If this is your first time, click Connect Microsoft Partner Center and sign in with your MSP tenant credentials.
  3. After connecting, your managed tenants appear in a table. Select a product from the dropdown next to the tenant you want to onboard:
    • Petra Active for continuous monitoring
    • Petra Autopsy for a full 6-month forensic investigation
    • Petra Scan for a quick security check (available on request)
  4. Click Onboard. Petra installs the application and grants permissions automatically using your GDAP relationship. No action is required from the client.
For prerequisites, the managed tenants table, batch scanning, GDAP permission details, and FAQs, see the full Partner Center guide.

​
Add Individually

Use this method when you do not have a Partner Center account, or when you need to add a single tenant outside of a GDAP relationship.

​
Step 1: Sign in to Petra

Go to app.petrasecurity.com and sign in.

​
Step 2: Click Add Tenant

Click Add Tenant from the navbar and choose Add tenants individually.
Add Tenant

​
Step 3: Select the product

Choose the product you want to use:
  • Petra Active for ongoing monitoring
  • Petra Autopsy for a full 6-month forensic investigation or incident response case
  • Petra Scan for a quick security check with optional deep-dive on specific incidents
See Active vs. Autopsy for a full comparison.
Select Product
Petra Scan tenants automatically pause after a 14-day trial period. This gives you two weeks to complete your assessment without incurring ongoing costs. You can manually pause or resume the tenant at any time.

​
Step 4: Add the Azure app

You can either approve the app yourself (if you are a Global Admin on the tenant) or send the approval link to the tenant’s Global Admin.
Add Azure App
Due to a known bug on Microsoft’s side, you may need to add the Azure app twice.
After you add the tenant, it will appear in the tenants table on the homepage. Click on the tenant and you will see logs start flowing in. As findings emerge, they show up in the top panel.
