Create a Provider

Note

From release 24.2 onwards, the creation of a site, customer, reseller, and provider no longer automatically creates cloned roles. For users who have custom bulk loaders and need to carry out this automatic cloning task, an new boolean field needs to be added to such bulk load sheets and set to TRUE:

"name": "clone_admin_role"
"title": "Clone Admin Role"

This procedure creates a provider hierarchy node in VOSS Automate and, optionally, a default provider administrator.

1. Log in to VOSS Automate:

   • Enterprise deployment: Log in as entadmin at sys.hcs.

   • Provider deployment: Log in as hcsadmin at sys.hcs.

2. Go to (default menus) Provider Management > Providers.

3. On the Providers page, click Add.

4. On the Service Provider Details tab, complete the following fields:

Field	Description
Name	The service provider name. Note: Once you’ve saved the provider you can’t change their name. Any spaces in the provider name are converted to underscores in the provider local administrator name and email, if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.
Description	A description of the provider.
Domain Name	Mandatory. The service provider’s directory domain, for example, “provider.com”. Used when creating the default local administrator so the administrator can log in with an email ID such as ProviderAdmin@provider.com.
Create Local Admin	Defines whether a default local administrator is created. This enables Cloned Admin Role, Default Admin Role and Default Admin Password.
Cloned Admin Role	Role to select if the Create Admin Role check box is selected.
Default Admin Role	An auto-generated, read-only role name that appears only if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.
Default Admin Password	The default password for the provider administrator. The input is masked, but can be shown by selecting the Show box.

4. On the Contact Information tab, enter address, email, and phone information, as appropriate.

5. Click Save.
