Create a Reseller

Note

References to HCM-F and Shared Data Repository (SDR) are only relevant if installed.

After VOSS-4-UC installation, the hcsadmin Administrator must configure the HCM-F device and create the Provider. Creating a reseller is optional.

In VOSS-4-UC, if the reseller name matches an OrgUnit in the SDR you can migrate the OrgUnit as a reseller.

  1. Log in as provider administrator.

    Log in with the Provider administrator’s email address, which is case-sensitive. The hcsadmin administrator can find the Provider administrator’s email address on the Admins form (default menu User Management > Admins) by clicking the Provider name.

  2. On the Resellers form (default menu Reseller Management > Resellers) click Add.

  3. On the Reseller Details tab, complete these fields:

    Option Description
    Name

    The name of the reseller. This field is mandatory.

    Note:

    Once you save the reseller, you cannot change the reseller name.

    Note:

    Any spaces in the reseller name are converted to underscores in the reseller local administrator name and email, if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.

    Note:

    If the Reseller Name matches the name of an OrgUnit that exists in the SDR, the Migrate from HCM-F to VOSS-4-UC check box is displayed. Click Save to migrate this OrgUnit to a reseller at the current hierarchy level. The fields are populated with the values found in the SDR. If you do not want to migrate the OrgUnit, enter a different Reseller Name.
