There is this acticle "Link or unlink a Microsoft Certification profile ID (MCID) to a Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) account".
Inside, there is a section named "How can a user link their Microsoft Certification profile ID (MCID) with the Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) organization they work for?"
This is exactly what I need to do. However, I'm having trouble following these instructions.
First, this section tells me to "sign in to Partner Center". I do that by going to https://partner.microsoft.com/ and logging in with my personal account associated with my MCID
Second, it tells me to "go to My profile". This is already a problem. There is no link called "My profile", neither on https://partner.microsoft.com/ nor on https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/home.
Upon clicking around, I found out that if I first click on my name in the top right corner and then on "View account", I get this pop-up window that contains the link "My profile", among others. But the link is greyed out, and there is this message "We looked but couldn't find your login (my personal Microsoft login here) as a Microsoft partner. Please go directly to the Partner Center to join the Microsoft Partner Network."
At this point I think, OK, perhaps I should have logged in with my work account at step 1? So I signed out and signed back in. This time "My profile" was not greyed out. I clicked on it and got the page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/. (Perhaps this is the one I should have gone to from the start? Then why not just provide the link?)
Next, the article tells me to "select either Get Partner University account or Associate Microsoft Learning account". However, the page contains neither of these links. I clicked around, went to "Profile" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/users/my-login-name/), went to Dashboard (https://partner.microsoft.com/en-us/dashboard/home) - no such links anywhere.
I found this experience very confusing and irritating. This is a simple task and people should not be loosing so much time doing trial and error just because the author of the article was too lazy to provide more detailed instructions.
