Administrative Permission Required
Administrative permission is required to access the ZiftONE Settings. For more information, contact your supplier's point of contact.
Overview
To expedite managing users in your organization, some suppliers delegate aspects of user management to designated partner users. The administrator for your partner account can add and delete users, and keep their details up to date. They can also designate each user's role in your partner account - this option gives partners control over the visibility of content and portal views across their user base.
Here is some general information about users and roles:
- There is no limit to the number of users a partner can have in their account. You can edit or delete users as their relationship with your organization changes.
- Users can have one or more roles, for example they may be a sales advisor in your organization but also the administrator for your partner account.
- Roles can be set through SSO and Salesforce Integrations.
- Only users with the Administrator role can change roles of Sales and Marketing users.
In ZiftONE, partner users are allowed access to certain areas of the portal depending on their assigned role. Suppliers can control access to content, pages or features based on role. Three default roles are provided in ZiftONE:
- Administrator - Users with the Administrator role have access to all account settings. This includes Company Profile, Lead Management settings, Mailing Credits settings, CRM integrations, App Connectors, etc. If your supplier has permitted user management from the portal, the administrator can manage portal users and assign roles.
- Marketing - Users with the Marketing role have access to ZiftONE features and content, based on the supplier's permission. They do not have access to account settings but they can manage contacts and contact lists, and access lead and deal information.
- Sales - Users with the Sales role have access to ZiftONE features and content, based on the supplier's permission. They do not have access to account settings but they can manage contacts and contact lists, and work their marketing/distributed leads and deals either through ZiftONE, email, or their CRM.
Usually, there is at least one Admin that is given both the Marketing and Administrator role so that they have access to all available features.
In addition, your supplier may add their own custom roles. They can also specify whether partners can assign these roles to their users, or whether it's a supplier decision. For information, reach out to your supplier point of contact.
Your administrator can manage the list of users in your partner account from > Settings > Manage Users.

Approve / Reject Requests for User Accounts
You may be asked to accept or reject a request to add a user to your partner account. This may happen if a user from your organization has registered to join your supplier's partner program, either directly or via invitation from the supplier.
