Check the user's role in the third section of the Customer Details page to see if the Alias ID also lists the Email Address below it.

  • If the Email Address displays under the ID, then they have been added to the portal.
  • If the Email Address does not display, then the user has not been added to the portal. To resolve either Update the Role to a new user or add the user via the Company tab
An Example:

In the example above, C LEES is missing in the portal yet has been selected as the Inside Sales Rep, Implementer
M Velo is not missing from the portal and is selected as the Business Rep

The Example above can be resolved with these steps:
  • In the Trading Partner page, select the edit option in the Details tab.
  • Select the Inside Sales Rep, and choose from the drop down of active users to assign.
  • For the Implementer, the same steps are to be repeated.
