This article describes how to assign administration roles in partner organizations that offer Wholesale Route-to-Market (RTM) solutions. You can use roles to manage administrative settings for the partner organization and for customer organizations that the partner manages.
Overview
To manage Wholesale Provisioning, Customer & User Management, you must Assign roles to users with Wholesale admin permissions:
-
Sign in to https://admin.webex.com, go to Users, and choose a user.
(If you are a partner, you would first open the customer organization where you want to assign roles, and then access that organization's Users page.)
-
In the user's Profile tab, find Administrator roles.
There's a comma separated list of the user's administrative roles (or "None").
-
Click on the list to open the role assignment control.
-
To manage Wholesale Provisioning, Customer & User Management:
-
Select Full admin under Organization.
-
Select Webex for Wholesale admin under customer management.
If you change the Organizational role of a user who has an existing Services role, you could affect their existing services roles. Review the user's services roles if you change their organizational role.
-
-
Click Save.
Roles are used to assign administration access to settings in Partner Hub and Control Hub. There are multiple roles available, which can provide access to required administrative settings while limiting access to non-required settings. You can assign multiple roles to a single administrator or multiple administrators with varying roles and access privileges, all according to the organization needs.
Within a partner organization (Service Provider or reseller), roles can be assigned for two main administration purposes:
-
Partner Management - Manage settings that apply to the partner organization.
-
Customer Management - Manage settings that apply to customer organizations that the partner manages.
Partner Management Roles
The following organizational and functional roles grant administrative privileges to manage settings for the partner organization itself (the organization titled “My Organization” in Partner Hub).
-
Full administrator—Has access to view and administer settings for partner organization. Can assign administration roles, including roles for Customer management.
-
Read-only administrator—Has access to view partner organization’s settings, but cannot edit settings.
The following table displays the level of access the above administrators have to manage settings for the partner organization.

Provisioning administrator is a derived role rather than an assigned role. It can occur if an administrator sets up Webex services for an organization
that exists already in Control Hub and which has an existing relationship to a partner and partner admin. The Provisioning
administrator has similar access to a Partner administrator. However, do not have access to begin and manage Webex Trials.
|
Assign Roles
The first user provisioned to the partner organization gets assigned both of the above roles automatically and can assign
roles to other users in the partner organization.
|
1 |
Sign in to Partner Hub at http://admin.webex.com. |
||
2 |
Select Customers and launch the view for My Organization. |
||
3 |
In Control Hub, click Users and select the appropriate user.
|
||
4 |
Under the Profile tab, go to Administrator roles and click the arrow > to expand the view. |
||
5 |
Select the appropriate roles and click Save. Partner Hub login access is assigned automatically when administrator roles are assigned. For help desk, administrators can
log in to https://admin.webex.com/helpdesk.
|
Restricted Administrator Mode
Restricted administrator mode is an organization-level setting that partner administrators can enable for customer organizations (the default setting is enabled). When a partner administrator enables Restricted mode for a customer organization, all customer administrators for that organization are restricted from editing a list of partner-defined settings in Control Hub—only a partner administrator can reset the restricted settings. For customer administrators, the level of Control Hub access is determined as follows:
(Control Hub access) = (Role entitlements) - (Restrictions)
When Restricted mode is enabled, the following items are restricted for customer administrators in that organization:
-
In the Users view, the following settings are not available:
-
Manually Add or Modify Users—No option to add or modify users, either manually or via CSV.
-
Claim Users—not available
-
Auto-assign Licenses—not available
-
Directory Synchronization—Unable to edit directory sync settings (this setting is available to Partner-level administrators only).
-
User details—No option to edit User settings such as name and email address.
-
Reset Package—No option to reset the package type.
-
Edit Services—No option to edit the services that are enabled for a user (e.g., Messages, Meetings, Calling)
-
View Services status—Unable to see full status of Hybrid Services or Software Upgrade Channel
-
Primary Work Number—This field is read-only.
-
-
In the Account view, the following settings are not available:
-

Restricted mode gets applied to customer organizations, rather than to individual administrators. When this setting is on,
customer administrators at that organization see a banner at the top of the Control Hub screen that lets them know that this
setting is applied.
|
Manage Users button will be greyed out for all customer administrators. |
If the partner removes the restricted administrator mode for a customer administrator, the customer administrator will be able to perform the following:

-
Select the applicable customer organization.
-
