Partner Access
If your organization collaborates with external partners who require access to manage specific IT resources (like onboarding employees, adding people to groups, or creating new user accounts), EmpowerID offers a tailored solution. You can create dedicated 'Organization' locations within EmpowerID for these partners. Then, you can assign individuals in these locations one or more 'Partner' Management Roles that EmpowerID provides as standard options.
By strategically combining these specialized locations and Management Roles with a Business Role and Location assignment, you can empower your partners to manage their assigned domains effectively. This setup ensures they do so without gaining visibility into your broader IT infrastructure. This method allows multiple partners to operate within your enterprise environment securely and independently, without awareness of each other or access to your organization's internal resources. The following sections will guide you through setting up and managing these partner-specific environments in EmpowerID.
