    1. Granting access to customers: assuming you have Ownership of a deployed Azure sub, and the appropriate GDAP permissions, you can assign RBAC roles to whomever you'd like. You can use any tool that is normally used for managing permissions in Azure. Azure PowerShell is one: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-powershell
    2. Automation: see above, but be careful automating this because you may not know who from the customer should actually have rights to that Azure sub. By default an end-customer global admin can just grant access to the azure sub themselves.
    3. Permissions: if you sell the Azure sub, you should already have Owner permissions assigned to your AOBO admin agent group. I believe you will also need GDAP to at least enumerate a customer directory and assign permissions, so Global Reader or Directory Reader would work.
