Partner Portal

Unlock the Power of Jirav's Partner Portal

The Jirav Partner Portal is a platform that allows our partners to manage their business and review the status of their clients' accounts within Jirav. It provides a bird's eye view of your Jirav accounts and offers tools to assist in managing your practice. 

As a partner you can efficiently manage these accounts by creating, cloning, upgrading, and deleting them as necessary. Additionally, the Partner Portal offers robust user management functionalities, such as assigning, removing, and inviting users with different access levels. Partners can also maintain brand consistency by customizing logos and branding features.

User Management

Jirav Firm Users vs. Partner Portal Users vs. Jirav Client Users

There are three main types of users: Jirav Firm Users, Partner Portal Users, and Jirav Client Users. It's crucial to grasp the distinctions between these user types, their associated access levels, and the rules governing their usage.

• Jirav Firm Users: Firm users are individuals within your firm who have access to specific Jirav accounts managed by your firm. Their permissions are configured within the individual Jirav accounts and can range from Basic to Admin roles.
• Partner Portal Users: These users have access to the Partner Portal interface and can oversee the creation and deletion of Jirav accounts within the Partner Portal. They can also manage existing Jirav firm users within the Jirav accounts. 
• Jirav Client Users: Client users are individuals with restricted access to a single Jirav account managed by your firm. Similar to Jirav firm users, their permissions are set within individual Jirav accounts and can range from Basic to Admin roles, depending on the configurations within each client account.

Jirav Firm Users

A Jirav firm user has access to one or more Jirav accounts that has been created in your partner portal for your clients. They can log in to the Jirav account and manage it on behalf of the client.

Managing Jirav Firm Users in Accounts:

To add a team member from your firm to an account, follow these steps depending on the situation:

Scenario 1: Adding a New Team Member 

In this scenario, the user is new and does not have access to any existing account within your partner portal. The new team member must be added directly to the first account (and NOT from the partner portal). Please note you must be a Jirav Firm User with an Admin role in the client account to perform these actions. 

1. Access an account by logging in to the desired Jirav account or click on the short-name for their account from your partner portal.
2. Navigate to Setup ⚙️> Users within the account.
3. Add the new firm user with the appropriate Role and Invite. Click here to learn more about user management in accounts.

Scenario 2: Adding or Removing a Team Member from Multiple Accounts

In this scenario, the user change can be managed from partner portal. Please note you must be a Partner Portal User to perform these actions. 

1. From Partner Portal, check the box(es) to the left of the account name and click + Assign User(s) or ➖ Remove Assigned User(s).
2. Select the desired users from the list and Assign or Remove. This will add the user to the  account(s) with the Editor role or remove them as users from the account(s). 
   • When adding or removing users to accounts from the partner portal, only those users with the same domain as your firm, who already have access to at least one account in your portal, and who have previously logged into Jirav will appear in the dropdown menu. This ensures that only authorized and actively involved users can be added to accounts in bulk.

Partner Portal Users

It is recommended to assign one person at your firm to be the Partner Portal User. This person will have access to manage client accounts across the firm. Additional users can be assigned access on a by-account basis as Jirav Firm users.

To Invite or Remove a Partner Portal User to your Partner Portal, follow these steps:

 

Jirav Client Users

A client user's access is limited to the specific Jirav account linked to their company. Once logged in, they can only view the information you granted them access to. 

To add a client to an account, follow these steps:

Please note you must be a Jirav Firm User with an Admin role in the client account to perform these actions. 

1. Access the client account by logging in to the desired Jirav account or if you have access to partner portal, click on the short-name for their account from your partner portal.
2. Navigate to Setup ⚙️> Users within the account.
3. Add the new firm user with the appropriate Role and Invite. Click here to learn more about user management in accounts.

When setting up your Jirav Partner Portal, you have the option to personalize it by adding your firm's logo to all Jirav accounts within your portal. This allows you to showcase your brand and create a cohesive experience for your clients. 

To add your firm logo, navigate to Partner Portal > ⚙️Setup > Upload your logo.

Enable Branding to add your logo to all of the client accounts created in your portal.

You are allocated a certain number of accounts based on your partner agreement.  Take these steps to review your account capacity:

1. Navigate to Setup from the gear icon on the left menu bar of the Portal.
   
2. Scroll to the Capacity section to review the current capacity of accounts in your partner Portal.
