Initiating an Affiliation

Super Admin of the MSP Organization Account initiates the Affiliations process to add customers to the MSP Organization Account to share the MSP owned products with Customer. Once an MSP initiates the Affiliations process, request goes to customer. Super Admin of the Customer Organization Account reviews and approve or reject the request.

Customers get added to the Organization Account after the Affiliations request is approved. Access to the Organization Account resources is controlled with User Groups. Mostly, added customers get Read-only access to the resources.
