FAQ:

1. Why am I receiving an error when trying to add new users into the portal?

  • If an error does occur, the new user will have to be added into the primary Sales Force system. In the event this error does occur, please reach out to uSupport @ (888) 842-2461 or via email [email protected], we are aware that this error does occur occasionally, and we will be happy to assist you when adding new users.

When creating a new user, you will be asked to give them a role. There are three different types.

Role TypeDescription
ClientThis is the most common contact role for users within uPortal360. In this role, the user is able to originate contracts, submit cases*, view consumer accounts and their data, and can be given access to reports in uPortal360.
Client - No CasesIn this role, the user can submit contracts through uPortal360, but is unable to submit cases on specific contracts. This role still allows for general cases (i.e. tech support cases). User can also be given reports access if needed.
Client - Reporting OnlyReporting only client role does not allow the user to submit any new contracts and is unable to submit cases on contracts. They will be able to view any reports assigned to them and view all consumer accounts.

*Cases are used within uPortal360 to reach our Support team regarding specific contracts or because of technical issues within the portal.

Quick Tip
For the purpose of contacting the right person within your office, it is important to keep each user's title current/updated in uPortal360. We want to make sure all communications go to the correct user and that all users are receiving content relevant to their role.
