Create a Reseller

This procedure creates a reseller.

Note

Once Automate is installed, the entadmin` administrator (Enterprise deployment) or hcs administrator (Provider deployment) creates the provider.

Creating a reseller is optional.

1. Log in as Provider administrator.

   Log in with the provider administrator’s email address (case-sensitive). The hcsadmin` administrator can find the Provider administrator’s email address on the Admins form (default menu User Management > Admins, then click on the Provider’s name).

2. Go to (default menus) Reseller Management > Resellers.

3. On the Resellers form, click Add.

4. On the Reseller Details tab, complete the following fields:

   Option	Description
   Name	Mandatory. The name of the reseller. This name can’t be changed once you’ve saved it. Any spaces in the reseller name are converted to underscores in the reseller local administrator name and email.
   Description	Reseller description
   Directory Domain	Reseller’s directory domain. This field is used to create an email address for the reseller default local administrator, for example Reseller1Admin@reseller1.com. If omitted, the domain of the Provider is used.
   Create Local Admin	Defines whether a default local administrator is created for the reseller.
   Cloned Admin Role	The Provider role used to create a new role prefixed with the reseller name. The created reseller role, shown in the Default Admin Role field, is assigned to the default local administrator user. This field appears only if the Create Local Admin checkbox is selected.
