How should a developer setup Azure for a customer?

Question

I don't want [email protected] to be the admin of my Azure account. I also don't want to share the [email protected] password with a bunch of developers. What I want (I think) is what we're used to - admin account(s) and sub accounts, even groups.

What's the best way to handle user management for an Azure account for a business?

What variables matter?

• If I have a domain? Do I have to have one?
• Some special subscription level? What is it called?

Thanks

Checkout the "Sign up for Windows Azure as an organization" page on windowsazure.com: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sign-up-organization/

Quoting from the site:

"Once this tenant has been created, an admin can then issue organizational accounts to each of its employees/students and assign licenses to those accounts based on which cloud service subscriptions they need access to, such as Windows Azure."

Sounds like what you need!
