Overview

Authorized admin contacts listed in the customer portal can log in and add new contacts. Once added, these contacts will receive a separate email to activate their individual logins and complete the registration process. After registration and activation, they will gain access to the customer portal. The access level granted to each contact will depend on the permissions set by the admin when creating the individual login. The following contact types can be added to the customer portal: 

  • Primary: Receives all account related communication.
  • Billing: Receives communication relating to billing.
  • Partner: Receives communication related to partner support.
  • Renewal: Receives communication relating to maintenance renewals and product maintenance expiration.
