This could also equally apply to a central IT function delegating some responsibilities to individual departments.

Delegation can be shown using the structure in this diagram:

The cloud operator then delegates to other users to provide others to their tenants. These are the delegated providers, and they will be users with either owner or contributor rights in the subscription. Users are then the tenant users who subscribe to the offers.
