Optional. If true, grants delegated admin rights to the channel partner for fulfilled entitlements. Applicable only if you provide a channelPartnerId.
channelPartnerId

string

Required. Cloud Identity ID of the channel partner who will be the indirect reseller for the customer's entitlement. An indirect reseller needs to accept an invitation from the top-level distributor, sent by calling CloudChannelService.CreateChannelPartnerLink.

Cost allocation for this entitlement can be done for the partner in reports, and the indirect reseller will have delegated admin access to the customer. Required for entitlement purchases for a distributor account only. If there is no partner to assign to this customer, use the distributor's own Cloud Identity ID.
