Hello,

We have started to using Windows Desktop Application Program.

Analysis information is coming properly so we have started planning how we manage these info.

During this process, we found that member who have developer permission not able to see this analysis info. But as I checked the information regarding developer permission, it shows that developer can see the market place analytic information.

Is this proper behavior of MS partner center? If so what kind of permission is necessary to see the information which is under Windows Desktop Application Program?

    For the Windows Desktop Application Program, analytics visibility is controlled by the program’s own roles, not by the general Partner Center “Developer” role or product-level custom permissions.

    In this program there are only two roles:

    • Manager
      • Can upload and remove certificates.
      • Can view all analytic data for Windows Desktop Application Program.
      • Can manage users (within the limits of Azure AD permissions).
    • Developer
      • Can view applications and certificate details associated with the account.
      • Can view only the Health and Installs reports.
      • Cannot view financial info or account settings.

    For Windows Desktop Application Program data, there is no support for custom permissions or product-level restrictions; every user must be assigned either Manager or Developer, and those roles define exactly what analytics they can see. Marketplace analytics and product-level custom permissions described elsewhere in Partner Center do not apply to this program.

    So, if a user needs to see all analytics information under the Windows Desktop Application Program (beyond Health and Installs), that user must be assigned the Manager role for the Windows Desktop Application Program account.
