> With Azure Lighthouse, partners can perform discovery, assessment and migration for on-premises VMware VMs, Hyper-V VMs, physical servers and AWS/GCP instances. For [VMware VM migration](../../migrate/server-migrate-overview.md), only the [agent-based migration method](../../migrate/tutorial-migrate-vmware-agent.md) can be used for a migration project in a delegated customer subscription. Migration using agentless replication is not currently supported through delegated access to the customer's scope.

## Create an Azure Migrate project in the customer tenant

One option when using Azure Lighthouse is to create the Azure Migrate project in the customer tenant. Users in the managing tenant can then select the customer subscription when creating a migration project. From the managing tenant, the service provider can perform the necessary migration operations. This may include deploying the Azure Migrate appliance to discover the workloads, assessing workloads by grouping VMs and calculating cloud-related costs, reviewing VM readiness, and performing the migration.

In this scenario, no resources will be created and stored in the managing tenant, even though the discovery and assessment steps can be initiated and executed from that tenant. All of the resources, such as migration projects, assessment reports for on-premises workloads, and migrated resources at the target destination, will be deployed in the delegated customer subscription. However, the service provider can access all customer projects from their own tenant and portal experience.

This approach minimizes context switching for service providers working across multiple customers, and lets customers keep all of their resources in their own tenants.

For VMware VMs, before you configure the appliance, you can limit discovery to vCenter Server datacenters, clusters, a folder of clusters, hosts, a folder of hosts, or individual VMs. To set the scope, assign permissions on the account that the appliance uses to access the vCenter Server. This is useful if multiple customers' VMs are hosted on the hypervisor. You can't limit the discovery scope of Hyper-V.

> Prior to migration, a landing zone must be deployed to provision the foundation infrastructure resources and to prepare the subscription to which virtual machines will be migrated. The Owner built-in role may be required to access or create some resources in this landing zone. Because this role is not currently supported in Azure Lighthouse, the customer may need to provide [guest access](/entra/external-id/what-is-b2b) to the service provider, or delegate admin access via the [Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) subscription model](/partner-center/customers-revoke-admin-privileges).

In this scenario, the migration project and all of the relevant resources will reside in the managing tenant.

This approach enables service providers to begin migration discovery and assessment projects quickly, abstracting those initial steps from customer subscriptions and tenants.

If you are managing multiple customers in the same Hyper-V host, you can discover all workloads at once. You can select customer-specific VMs in the same group, and then create an assessment. Migration is performed by selecting the appropriate customer's subscription as the target destination. There's no need to limit the discovery scope, and you can maintain a full overview of all customer workloads in one migration project.
