User Creation

The portal Partner Administrator is responsible for creating new users, managing permissions, and disabling/enabling customer user accounts for their company.

CREATING A NEW USER

  1. From the portal homepage, access the Manage Users page by clicking on the “Expand” button, or by clicking anywhere within the mint portlet.

  2. From the Manage Users page, click on the Create New User button.

  3. Complete the pop-up form for the new user ensuring that the email address is not being used for another account within the portal, and then click Continue.
    NOTE: During this process, under “Select User Role”, you will choose whether the new user will be a Customer Admin or Customer User. If you select “Admin”, the new user will have full access to all portal's features, and the ability to manage other users. Use this access carefully and only grant this to people in your organization that will managing this site for you or with you. If you select “User” you will grant the new user’s permissions later, and they will not be able to manage other users.

  4. On the next page, you will complete the new user creation process. First, assign the new user a username. Usernames must contain at least 6 alphanumeric characters, at least 1 number, and no special characters.
    NOTE:
    The username cannot be changed later

  5. Next, you will link the user to the NCR Atleos accounts to which they require access. The user can be linked at three levels: Customer, Entity or Enterprise.

    • The Customer level relates to NCR Atleos Master Customer Numbers.
    • The Entity level is a group of NCR Atleos Master Customer Numbers.
    • The Enterprise level is the highest identifier and includes all NCR Atleos Master Customer Numbers and Entities for your organization.

    NOTE: Each organization may have a different amount of NCR Atleos Master Customer or Entity Numbers depending upon the organizational structure.  

    To link the user at the Customer level, click the “UNLINKED” toggles to change them to “LINKED” toggles for each NCR Atleos Master Customer number to which the user needs access

    To link the user at the Entity level, click on the “Entity” section then click the UNLINKED toggle to change them to LINKED toggle for each Entity to which the user needs access. This will give the user access to all the NCR Master Customer Numbers which are associated with that Entity

    To link the user at the Enterprise level, click on the “Enterprise” section, then click on the UNLINKED toggle to change it to a LINKED toggle. This will give the user access to all the NCR Atleos Master Customer Numbers for your organization.

  6. Next, under “Assign Groups and Permissions” you will grant permissions to your new user. You can grant permission to Invoices, Invoice Disputes or Orders, all of which are set at “no” by default for Customer Users. Anything you change to “yes” will allow the user to have full access to the functionality of that portlet.
    NOTE: If you are creating a New User that you labeled as Customer Admin, these portlet permissions will be set to “yes” by default. You can set them to “no”, but Customer Admin users can turn permissions back to “yes” within their own profile.

  7. Next, under “Request Application Access”, you can decide if which applications to request for this new user. Applications are downstream systems that partners will access through the portal for things like training, deal registration, etc. Any application that is assigned to the Master Customer Number to which the user is linked will populate for you to request access.
    Note: Upon user creation, all Partner Admins are automatically requested Partner Network Resource Center (PNRC), NCR Product and Services Certification (NCRU), and NCR Product and Services User Guides (Seismic). Partner Users are automatically requested NCR Product and Services Certification (NCRU) and NCR Product and Services User Guides (Seismic).

  8. After you have completed all the information for the new user, click the Save button.

  9. Once you have completed these steps, a success message will pop up notifying you that the new user has been created. The user will then receive an automated email with their login credentials, which includes their username and a temporary password.

    NOTE: The temporary password is valid for 72 hours, and the user will be disabled if they do not activate their account within the 72-hour window. You can always send a new temporary password within the user’s profile page to re-enable the user.

SEARCHING, EDITING, MANAGING & CLONING USERS

Click the Hyperlinked Username to on the Manage Users page to Access User Profile. This will take you to the user’s profile where you can:

  4. Complete the editable fields on the second Clone User page and Click Save.


ENABLING/DISABLING USERS

Customer Admins are responsible for user management in the portal which includes enabling/disabling users. In addition to Customer Admins manually enabling/disabling users, there are a few systematic reasons a user may be disabled which will be noted on the user profile if enacted.

All users must be linked to at least one Master Customer Number to have an active account. If a user has all MCN linkages removed, then they will be disabled. In this scenario, you must link the user to an MCN in order to re-enable them.

Newly created users have a 72-hour window to activate their account after creation before being disabled. After that window, you can re-send the user the Welcome Email from their user profile to enable them again.

The portal also has a security restriction that disables users after 180 days of inactivity. If this happens and a user is disabloed, you can manually enable them from their user profile. See below for instructions on how to manually enable/disable a user.

  1. Search for the user you would like to enable/disable on the Manage Users page using the regular or advanced search options.

  2. Click the box next to the username and click the enable/disable button.
    NOTE: You can only enable/disable one user at a time. There is one button that both enables/disables the used based on it's current status.
