Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Link copied to clipboard

You can enable 2FA for the reseller, so they will be able to log in to their portal only after entering a one-time password (OTP) in addition to their login and regular password. The OTP is generated by a 2FA application installed on the user’s smartphone, e.g., Google Authenticator.

Select one of the following options in the dropdown list:

  • As defined by the customer class – the option configured for the customer class is used.
  • Yes – select this option to enable 2FA.
  • No – select this option to disable 2FA.

If a user loses access to the 2FA application, click Reset 2FA key.

Allow access only from trusted IP addresses

Link copied to clipboard

This ensures that the reseller only accesses the portal from physical locations that you define. For example, you can specify IP addresses that belong to your network. If the reseller tries to log in from outside your network, PortaBilling denies that access, and the reseller can't log in.

Use these formats to permit access from specific IP addresses or networks:

  • A single IP address: 10.10.10.1
  • A network in IP prefix (slash) notation: 192.168.192.0/24
  • An IP address and a netmask: 192.168.192.0/255.255.255.0

Enter multiple definitions by selecting.

API token access

Use API tokens to authenticate reseller applications (e.g., CRM systems, switchboard apps) that are integrated with PortaBilling via the API. The application then uses the combination of the API token and login to establish the API session.

Role

Allowed roles

Link copied to clipboard

You can add the roles a reseller is allowed to use when creating reseller individuals (users with individual credentials and role-based permissions to access the reseller portal).

For backward compatibility, each reseller has two allowed roles by default – "CC staff" and "Senior CC staff". If different permissions are required, first create and configure new roles with the appropriate permissions (navigate to My company > Roles and create roles of the “Reseller” type with the needed permissions).

To add a new role to the list, click Add Add icon and select the needed role in the dropdown list.

To remove a role from the list, click Delete delete. Note that you can only remove the roles that are not yet in use.
