Using the MSP Portal to Manage Multiple Organizations

Configuring the MSP Portal

An admin can create multiple Dashboard accounts using the same email address. When a new account is created using the same credentials, the MSP Portal feature in Dashboard will automatically activate and be displayed for any user account with access to multiple organization. There is no additional configuration necessary to enable MSP portal.

Note: When creating a new account using an existing email address, make sure the credentials are identical so the MSP portal can sync correctly.

The following best practices are recommended when creating multiple Organizations: 

• Create a unique name for each Organization to avoid confusion.
• Licenses, user accounts, and site-to-site VPN, and device inventory are organization wide. Because of this, deploy a separate Organization for each budgetary group/company.
• When creating the Organization an email is required. This email is used as the administrative login for the Dashboard account. Therefore it should not be a personal email. This will allow recovery of the account if there is a change in personnel.

Using the MSP Portal

Once the new Dashboard account is created, the MSP Portal functionality will be activated automatically. If you have multiple Accounts with the same login, an Organization selector will be present beside the network selector at the top of every page in Dashboard. When you select an Organization from the drop down, you will then see the networks contained in that Organization in corresponding network drop down:
