Partner Console: Empowering Consultants in BizzStream Aero
In the dynamic realm of BizzStream, where environments serve as the canvas for innovation, consultants can access the Partner Console. This console extends beyond the conventional BizzStream interface, providing an overarching view and capabilities tailored to the specific needs of our valued partners.
Access Privileges
The Partner Console is an exclusive space, accessible only to BizzStream developers and consultants affiliated with Van Meijel. This restricted access ensures a secure and focused environment for those actively involved in crafting and supporting BizzStream solutions.
Who Has Access?
-
BizzStream Developers: With a mandate to support, BizzStream developers wield the ability to view all environments in the database, ensuring comprehensive assistance.
-
Consultants: Partner consultants, the backbone of many implementations, can elevate their access by requesting the addition of the Partner ID property to their profile. Armed with this property, they gain visibility into environments tagged with the same partner ID.
Navigating the Console
Within the Partner Console, also known as the Support Console, consultants encounter several vital subsections:
Organizations
This section empowers consultants to add new organizations to BizzStream. Typically, this action aligns with the setup process for a new customer in BizzStream.
-
Creation and Management: Users can create organizations and associate environments with them. However, the overview is tailored, displaying only organizations linked to the consultant's partner ID.
-
Administrative Control: Initiators of an organization are automatically designated as organization administrators. Additional administrators can be appointed from a pool comprising BizzStream developers, consultants, and existing users within the environment.
Directory Services
To delegate user management to external identity providers, directory services can be created. In a directory service, all required information for the external user integration is stored.
Users
Here, a comprehensive view of all users within the selected environment unfolds. Depending on the environment settings, consultants may have the ability to impersonate users, a feature subject to the 'Allow Support Partners to Impersonate Users'
setting in the environment page.
-
Impersonation Dynamics: The capability to impersonate is a powerful tool. For partner consultants, it hinges on the configuration setting mentioned above. BizzStream developers, too, are bound by a similar setting, ensuring controlled access.
-
Note on Impersonation: It's noteworthy that impersonation can also be initiated from the users overview within the setup section.
Packages
In this section, consultants embark on the journey of creating new packages and package versions, all rooted in the entities of the selected environment.
- Package Distribution: Once a package version materializes, it seamlessly integrates into the marketplace within the setup section. Environments sharing the same partner ID gain access to this package, with the exception of the environment where it originated.
Installing/Updating Packages
The Marketplace becomes a hub for all environments sharing the partner ID of the source environment of a package. Both consultants and BizzStream developers bear the ability to install and update packages, fostering a collaborative and dynamic ecosystem.
In essence, the Partner Console emerges as a command center for consultants, offering nuanced control over organizations, users, and the dynamic world of BizzStream packages. This exclusive space aligns with the collaborative spirit that defines our partnership with Van Meijel and underlines our commitment to empowering consultants in shaping the BizzStream experience.
