Working with Contact Detail View Web Access tab

The Contact Detail Web Access tab is available to administrative users or users who have been given permission to grant access to contacts for Infor CRM Customer Portal. When contacts are granted access, contacts can log on to Infor CRM Customer Portal, view all tickets in their account, add new tickets, change ticket status, and close tickets. Customers can view or add ticket information only for those accounts, which they can access.

Before a customer can log on to Customer Portal, he/she must exist as a contact in the Infor CRM Client. User names and passwords are case-sensitive, and no two contacts may have the same user name.

Note: 
  • If the organization uses the Infor CRM LAN Administrator to assign the Customer Portal role to the users, the users cannot view the default groups. You can add the user(s) to the Standard User role using the Infor CRM Web Admin to allow the users to view the default groups. For instructions on adding users to the Standard User role, see Working with the Roles Tab.
  • Security access determines the available functions. Contact administrator for any access rights changes. WebViewer users may not access full functionality.

    The new password must be specified again.

To remove access to Customer Portal:

  1. Open the Contact Detail view.

    From the Navigation Bar, select Contacts and use the lookup to find the contact and open the Contact Detail view.
