A GDAP link is a feature offered by Microsoft Partner Center that allows partners to delegate granular administrative privileges to other entities. Unlike older delegation models, GDAP allows for more specific and secure permissions, aligned with cloud application management needs.

Do I need one ?

GDAP (Granular Delegated Admin Privileges) is a link that could be essential between you and your Microsoft reseller. It provides accurate and temporarily limited access to your customers workloads, helping in the support and troubleshoot error. If you have regulatory requirements that require minimal privileged access for partners, or if you want to offer more services to your customers, then a GDAP link might be appropriate for you. To establish a GDAP link, ask your partner organization to know more about a GDAP relationship request.
