Remarks

When a user is created in the Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server administrator management portal, a subscription to a plan is provisioned. The procedure is as follows.

Collect the user information and desired plan. For the user, an email address and password will be required. The user is subscribed to one plan initially. A list of available plans is obtained by calling Retrieve the Available Plans. The id property of the desired Plan (Administrator object) will be needed to call Provision a New Subscription.
Call Retrieve a User to determine if the requested user already exists.
Provision the subscription using Provision a New Subscription.
