Managed Service offers streamline the process of onboarding customers to Azure Lighthouse. When a customer purchases an offer in Azure Marketplace, they'll be able to specify which subscriptions and/or resource groups should be onboarded.

For each offer, you define the access that users in your organization will have to work on resources in the customer tenant. This is done through a manifest that specifies the Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) users, groups, and service principals that will have access to customer resources, along with [roles](tenants-users-roles.md) that define their level of access.

Public plans let you promote your services to new customers. These are usually more appropriate when you only require limited access to the customer's tenant. Once you've established a relationship with a customer, if they decide to grant your organization additional access, you can do so either by publishing a new private plan for that customer only, or by [onboarding them for further access using Azure Resource Manager templates](../how-to/onboard-customer.md).

Managed Services are Azure Marketplace offers that enable cross-tenant and multi-tenant management with Azure Lighthouse. To learn more, see [What is Azure Lighthouse?](../lighthouse/overview.md) When a customer purchases a Managed Service offer, they’re able to delegate one or more subscription or resource group. You can then work on those resources by using the [Azure delegated resource management](../lighthouse/concepts/architecture.md) capabilities of Azure Lighthouse.
