Hi,
Can delegated admin do D365 Business Central implementation tasks, such as configuration package, master data and parameters setup, customization creation and deployment, etc?
Delegated admin does not have BC license though that admin can access to BC.
I read the document below, but I am not sure what delegated administrator can do in Business Central.
I have the same question (0)

    Hello,

    I work for a Partner, and access Admin Center via PartnerSource. My user does NOT have a BC License since I am a delegated admin.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Thank you Steven

    Does Delegated Administrator have to login Business Central from BC Admin Center?

    It seems the admin is unable to access to Business Central directory because the administrator isn't assigned any BC license. Is it correct?

    I am not sure why many partner companies don't use this delegated administrator for BC implementation.

    Are most partner companies using Delegated Administrator for BC implementation to their customer?

    Hello,

    Restricted access to Business Central as delegated administrator

    When you sign in to your customers' Business Central as the delegated administrator from the Business Central administration center, you have access to all areas of their Business Central. However, because you are not registered as a regular user, there are certain tasks that you cannot do.

    The following tasks are not available to the delegated administrator:

    Run scheduled tasks in the job queue.

    However, starting with 2021 release wave 1 (version 18), delegated administrators can test that the job queue can run without issues, before asking the customer to start it, by using Run once (forground) action on the Job Queue Entry card. This will create a temporary non-recurrent copy of this job and will run it once in the foreground. You can then call it as many times as you need before you hand it over to your customer so that they can start it as a recurrent job. After the job queue completes, it will be put in the on-hold status and can't be rescheduled.

    Use the Edit in Excel action or interact with Business Central data in Excel using the Business Central add-in for Excel. You can still use the Open in Excel action to view data in Excel.

    Use the Invite External Accountant assisted setup guide. Instead, you can add the external user in the Azure portal and assign this user the External Accountant license.

    Use the Cloud Migration Setup assisted setup guide to migrate data from Business Central on-premises to Business Central online. Instead, a licensed user who is assigned the SUPER permission set in Business Central can run the assisted setup guide.

    Access a web service by using a Web Service Access key. Usage of Web Service Access key is being deprecated. Find out more here.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi

    I know our delegate admin can setup master data and parameters, customization creation and deployment. Testing anything, accessing data, use JetReport, post any document and use configuration package. Seems like the limitations are the one that pointed out in the link you provided.
