# Integrate with Azure

The Azure (Microsoft Azure) Native Integration allows you to create Atlas organizations self-service, automatically billed through your Azure (Microsoft Azure) invoice.

## Find Atlas in Azure

If you are an Azure (Microsoft Azure) user with any role, you can discover Atlas through the following methods:

- Search for MongoDB Atlas using the search bar in the Azure (Microsoft Azure) dashboard and view Atlas under Services and Marketplace in the search results.

- Navigate to All services, then to Databases, from which you can select MongoDB Atlas.

- Navigate to Marketplace, then to Databases, from which you can select MongoDB Atlas.

## Create an Atlas Organization as an Azure Native Integration

You can provision Atlas as an Azure (Microsoft Azure) Native Integration within Azure (Microsoft Azure) by filling out a Create a MongoDB Atlas Organization form, specifying the organization name, the Azure (Microsoft Azure) resource to which it will be linked, and billing plan details.

See the [Overview of Azure Native Integrations](https://aka.ms/ANI/MongoDBAtlas/Docs) to learn more.

### Prerequisites

- You have an Owner or a Contributor role in the Azure (Microsoft Azure) subscription.

- The Atlas organization name that you input meets Atlas naming conventions: organization names can't be longer than 64 characters and can only contain letters, numbers, spaces, and the following symbols: (), @, &, +. :, ., \_, -, ', ,.

After Azure (Microsoft Azure) generates an Atlas resource, Atlas will:

1. Create an Atlas organization.

2. Grant the user the [`Organization Owner`](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/user-roles.md#mongodb-authrole-Organization-Owner) role in Atlas. This sends the user an invitation to join the Atlas organization and configure their account.

3. Link billing of the Atlas organization to the Azure (Microsoft Azure) marketplace billing offer.

### Supported Regions

The Azure (Microsoft Azure) Native Integration supports various regions for creating organizations. To deploy an organization in an unsupported region, create your deployment directly through the Atlas UI rather than through the Azure (Microsoft Azure) Native Integration.

## Billing

Azure (Microsoft Azure) Native Integration creates new Atlas Orgs from Azure (Microsoft Azure) which are automatically connected to an Azure (Microsoft Azure) marketplace billing plan for the Azure (Microsoft Azure) Native Integration.

In Azure (Microsoft Azure) and Atlas, you will see confirmation of Azure (Microsoft Azure) marketplace billing for the Atlas organization.

## Create Your Atlas User Account

When the Atlas organization is provisioned, Atlas creates an account for the email address of the Azure (Microsoft Azure) user who initiated provisioning. The user account that Atlas creates uses the email address configured in the user's Azure (Microsoft Azure) account. If you are a new user, you will need to configure your Atlas user account by setting your password. You can access Atlas to configure your account in the following ways:

1. You see a confirmation in Azure (Microsoft Azure) that the Atlas organization is successfully created.

2. You see a `Go to Atlas` link in Azure (Microsoft Azure), and receive a `Get started with your new Atlas Organization` email with this link.

3. You click the link and goes to Atlas. If you are a new user, you are prompted to set your password.

4. You see your organization as the [`Organization Owner`.](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/user-roles.md#mongodb-authrole-Organization-Owner)

**Note:**

If your email domain is already registered for SSO (Single Sign-On) with Atlas, you don't have to set a password.

Once your new organization is created, MongoDB recommends that you:

- Invite your teammates to Atlas to collaborate.

- Set up SSO (Single Sign-On) with Microsoft Entra ID. See [Configure Federated Authentication from Microsoft Entra ID](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/security/federated-auth-azure-ad.md#std-label-federated-auth-azure-ad) to learn more.

- Create clusters.

**Note:**

Atlas organizations created through Azure Native Integration can host clusters only on Azure (Microsoft Azure).

## View Your Organization in Azure and Atlas

You can view and manage your organization in the MongoDB Atlas portal by clicking on the Go to MongoDB Atlas portal URL on the MongoDB Resource Overview page.

![Azure Atlas Organization Portal URL](/images/azure-atlas-organization-portal-url.png)

Alternatively, you can access the organization directly from your Atlas dashboard.

## Unlink Your Organization from Azure

If you are an Azure (Microsoft Azure) Subscription Owner or a Contributor, you can unlink your MongoDB Atlas instance from Azure (Microsoft Azure), which unlinks the Atlas organization from Azure Native Integration and Azure (Microsoft Azure) marketplace billing, but doesn't delete the organization in Atlas.

If paid clusters exist on the organization when Azure (Microsoft Azure) billing is removed, users will need to provide a payment method within Atlas to avoid the suspension or termination of services.
