What provisioning will give access to the consultant/partner?

  • Consultant has provisioning access, but not support access:
    • Partner will be able to do configuration changes on provisioning, like:
      • Change Scheduled Jobs;
      • Enable and disable features;
      • Change SSO settings;
      • Change other settings available on provisioning;
    • They will not be able to do any changes that require access to front end, like Permissions, user data (except if they use schedule jobs to import data), proxy rights, between other data and settings anvailable only on front end.
  • Consultant has provisioning and support access:
    • They might be able to do something depending on the permissions that the user that they have support access have;
  • Consultant does not have provisioning but has support access:
    • Partner will not be able to do anything as support access is only accessible from provisioning.
