Entra admin consent checklist (read-only)

Verified as of 2026-09-18

Steps

In Entra ID, register an application (single-tenant) for Meridian.
Add a client secret (or certificate). Note tenant ID, client ID, and secret.
Grant Power Platform API access with licensing read permissions only (e.g. Licensing.Allocations.Read, Licensing.BillingPolicies.Read). Do not grant allocation write.
Have a Power Platform Administrator or Global Administrator admin-consent the app for the tenant.
Confirm token audience/scope is https://api.powerplatform.com/.default.
Provide tenant ID, client ID, and client secret to Meridian Vendors → Microsoft Copilot Studio (Zero-Access engagements: stop here and use the consumption export artifact instead).

What you should have

App registration IDs + admin-consent confirmation (no secrets in email).

Gotchas

Meridian never allocates Copilot Credits — read-only scopes only.
Interactive user tokens are not used in production; service principal custody is server-side.

Billing-policy / Azure subscription linkage check

Verified as of 2026-09-18

Steps

Sign in to the Power Platform admin center.
Open Licensing → Products → Copilot Studio (Manage Copilot Credits and capacity).
Confirm environments that host agents have prepaid pack allocation and/or a PAYG billing policy linked to an Azure subscription.
Note which environments draw from the tenant pool vs capped allocation (TenantPool enforcement).
Record the Azure subscription used for PAYG overage — Meridian reconciles Studio credits to that invoice path.

What you should have

Short note listing environment IDs + billing policy / subscription linkage.

Gotchas

Without a billing policy, agents may not produce billable credit consumption Meridian can meter.
PAYG credit dollars also land on the Azure invoice — treat as reconciliation, not a second sum.

Admin center consumption export (manual fallback)

Verified as of 2026-09-18

Steps

In Power Platform admin center, open Licensing → Copilot Studio → Manage Copilot Credits and capacity.
Review Capacity consumption by product and Copilot credit consumption details (agents, billed vs non-billable).
Export or copy the period’s consumption (environment and agent breakdown where shown) for the assessment window.
For Zero-Access: upload the export via Meridian Bill & invoice import (manual) — do not share Entra secrets.
Optional: pair with Azure Cost Management export for the same period to support two-meter reconciliation.

What you should have

CSV/Excel or PDF export of Copilot Credit consumption for the period.

Gotchas

Admin center windows are limited; request the full assessment period explicitly.
Pack fees ($200/mo) are a separate M365/AP line from credit consumption — keep them distinct.
