How do I set up Cloudmore admin accounts for my internal staff?

Each Cloudmore administrator should have their own unique login. By setting this up correctly, you can see what changes have been made by which user in the event log, making it much easier to keep a valid audit trail.

Do not use shared logins such as support@ or sales@. If you use 2-factor authentication for an administrator login, communications are sent to the administrator's contact details.

Follow the instructions below to learn how to add and manage administrator accounts.   

There are three different ways to add administrators: - 
1 - Bulk import a .CSV / .XML or .XMS file.
2 - Manually create multiple administrators.
3 - Add individually (recommended for single additions only). 

Sections 45, & 6 explain how to manage existing administrators.

Each administrator can be set up with a different role. See Section 3.2 for further detail

Note:- The minimum password length is eight (8) characters. The password must contain uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and non-word characters. The password cannot contain parts of the user's account name or parts of the user's full name.

1. Bulk import a .CSV / .XML or .XMS file

Global Admin

This role is similar to Super Admin but cannot change any of the Broker properties, security settings, branding or MS Azure AD Sync

GlobalView Only Admin

This role is similar to the Global Admin role and gives the user view-only access to the platform only, with no administration rights.

Global Support Admin

This role is to assist organizations. The role has a limited view but cannot make any changes to the broker level but has full control at the organization level with the exception of setting General Discount.

The user can:

  • view and export billing reports 
  • view and edit pricelists
  • view reports 
  • view Cloudmore invoices
  • set general discount

Sales Agent

This role is designed to enable you to provide access at the broker level to affiliates outside of your company so that they can manage multiple organizations in Cloudmore.

The Sales Agent role is similar to the Key Account Manager role. You can assign organization groups to a specific admin or admins. The big difference with the sales agent role is that the admin can’t see any cost prices or margins. Only the sales price is visible to the admin in the price list and on subscription selection screens. The sales agent also has access to a billing report where they can view the billing details for all of their assigned organizations, but again, only the sales price is displayed.
