# Complete Azure Lighthouse onboarding

Completing the Azure Lighthouse onboarding enables SoftwareOne to fulfill your Microsoft transactions, helping you streamline procurement and support.

To complete the onboarding, you must have the **Owner** role on the Azure subscriptions being onboarded. For details, see [Assign subscription owner role](/extensions/microsoft-cloud-solution-provider/azure-lighthouse/assign-subscription-owner-role.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
The onboarding process can take up to 24 hours while Microsoft configures the necessary permissions. If you still have issues after this time, [contact support](/help-and-support/contact-support.md).
{% endhint %}

### Completing Azure Lighthouse onboarding

To complete the onboarding:

1. Go to **Marketplace** > **Orders**.
2. Select the required purchase order. 
3. On the **General** tab, select the Lighthouse activation link.

5. On the Microsoft sign-in page, enter your **Azure Subscription Owner** credentials.&#x20;
6. Review the requested permissions, then select **Accept**.&#x20;
7. In the guided Azure Lighthouse flow, do the following:
   1. Review the onboarding details, then select **Next**. A list of Azure subscriptions under the logged-in tenant is displayed.
   2. Select the subscriptions to onboard. Subscriptions that are already onboarded are considered ineligible and ignored in the next step.&#x20;
   3. Review the summary, then select **Confirm**. The onboarding process begins, and the progress is displayed.&#x20;
   4. When all tasks are complete, select **Finish**.&#x20;

### Next steps

After completing the activation, return to the order details page in the Marketplace and select **Process**.&#x20;

This updates the order status from **Querying** to **Processing**, allowing SoftwareOne to process it further.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/extensions/microsoft-cloud-solution-provider/azure-lighthouse/complete-the-azure-lighthouse-onboarding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
