A Managed Service Provider (MSP) customer is a customer who uses the TiDB Cloud Services provided by the Managed Service Provider.

This document describes how to become an MSP customer and some common operations for MSP customers.
Compared to the direct TiDB Cloud customer, there are several differences for sign-up and invoice payment:

- The MSP customer needs to sign up for a TiDB Cloud account from the dedicated sign-up page provided by the MSP.
- The MSP customer pays invoices through the MSP channel, instead of paying directly to PingCAP.

Other daily operations on the TiDB Cloud console are the same for both direct TiDB Cloud customers and MSP customers.
