Filling out and Submitting the OpenAI Service Access Request Form
Most of the questions in the form are self-explanatory, and only the ones with a red star at the end of the field title needs to be filled out. However, a few of these mandatory fields might be a bit confusing and are covered here below.
3. How many Azure Subscription ID's would you like to have access to this service?
Select 1
4. Please provide your 1st Azure Subscription ID (not your Tenant ID)
Follow the instructions in the form and ensure that one enters the subscription ID and not the Tenant ID of the subscription. Also, note that the application is for this particular subscription ID. A new or changed subscription ID requires a new application.
14. Is your organization an ISV, SI, or MSP?
If one’s company cannot be categorized by any of the given options, then use the field Other to categorize the company. Example categories: Legal Services Provider, Municipality, Consumer Goods Company, etc.
18. Which Azure OpenAI service feature(s) are you requesting access for?
Only select the Text and code models option
When done, clickSubmit.
Shortly thereafter one will first receive a confirmation email to later be followed by another email with the approval. In our experience, the approval email may take anything from 1 to 10 days.
