‍An authorized partner refers to a third-party organization or entity with an official agreement to resell, distribute, or support the B2B SaaS product. This partnership is formalized through a contractual arrangement that grants the partner the authority to represent and sell the SaaS provider's software to end customers.

To designate a higher status to partners, a B2B SaaS company may have a formal training program for partners to become certified partner. This often comes through taking designated training courses that certify the partner's knowledge of their product.
