Microsoft Entra ID Governance

Automatic Governance Relationships

In brief

When you create a new Microsoft Entra tenant using the secure add-on tenant creation feature, you're prompted to select an existing subscription and resource group from your billing account. When you create your new tenant, Microsoft generates a new billing asset called **Entra ID Free** under that subscription and resource group, which links to the newly created tenant.

Microsoft Entra ID Free billing asset

When you create a new Microsoft Entra tenant using the secure add-on tenant creation feature, you're prompted to select an existing Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) subscriptionsubscription and resource group from your billing account. When you create your new tenant, Microsoft generates a new billing asset called Entra ID Free under that subscription and resource group, which links to the newly created tenant.

The subscription tracks new tenants created with the same billing account, allowing you to maintain an inventory of all new tenants. The subscription also helps prove tenant ownership and helps regain administrative access if you ever lose it. To learn more, see Microsoft Entra ID Free.
