As a MiCloud customer, you may have a referring partner who was your partner of record when your account was initially created at the time of sale. If you are a Decision Maker for your account, you can authorize a referring partner to perform actions on behalf of your account. You can assign the role o f Decision Maker, Phone Manager, or both to your referring partner. See Roles for information about the different roles.
If you are a MiCloud Partner, see MiCloud Referral Partners or MiCloud Resell Partners for information about managing your customer accounts.
You can also give Authorized Contact access to an IT consultant or a new partner that is not your referring partner (your partner of record at the time of sale) by adding the consultant or partner as a contact on your account and assigning an Authorized Contact role to that contact. For information about adding a contact to your account, see Adding a Contact.
Enabling Referring Partner Access
When you assign Authorized Contact roles to your referring partner, a new group is created on your partner’s account for each role you have enabled. The group name is the name of your account followed by the enabled role, Decision Maker or Phone Manager. Your partner can then add members to the appropriate group to grant Decision Maker or Phone Manager access to users on the partner account.
NOTE: Phone Managers do not have access to the Invoices & Payments page of the Account Portal. If you want your referring partner to have access to view and pay bills, you must assign the role of Decision Maker to your referring partner.
