Partner profile

Introduction

Within the B2B Portal your client’s administrator will be able to create as many Partner Profiles (users) as they wish. By creating these users, they will have the ability to access the B2B Portal and interact with the Dashboards and Processes shared with them. For more information on how B2B Portal users access shared data go to Data access, Shared processes for information on processes, as well as Shared dashboards for information on dashboards.

When to use

Your client will need to add Partner Profiles in order for their employees to have access to the B2B Portal. At this point your subscription will need to have been created and Administrators created. If this has not happened yet, please get in touch with your Account Manager or Kianda Support to begin the process.

How to get started

In order to begin a user with an Administrator role or Manage partner role will need to log into your subscription. Using one of these roles:

  1. Navigate to Invite Partner within the Administration section.

  2. Within this page click on the Invite Partner Button.

  3. In the Invite partner dialog box populate the fields with the details of the person you want to share your Processes and Dashboards with.
