How to change the customer for the Contact associated with the Portal?

Updated on April 8, 2020 06:00AM by Admin

Apptivo provides the ability to add third-party customers to specific apps, so they can log in and view the progress of the case details using their own account. You can add the case details, customer information, and other information in the Apptivo accounts. So, the changes can be viewed by the accessed contacts through their customer portal. In addition, if the customer is changed from the contact, the cases that are created for them will get removed from the contact. So, the old contacts will not have access to the cases created.

Let's consider, the contact has access to multiple customers and in some cases, the customer does not want the contact. In those cases, the contact can be removed by the customer. Once the contact is removed, they will not have access to the cases that are created by the particular customer for the contact. Please follow the steps to remove the contact from the customer and how the access is getting changed.
