My Networking Portal – Account Management

Account Management Overview

MyNetworking portal supports a many-to-many relationship between companies and people. A person can belong to more than one company and a company can have more than one person. A person can have a different role at each company.  Licenses and products belong to the company and all the people can view the licenses and products.

Roles

There are three roles in MyNetworking portal:

  • Administrator
  • User
  • Reseller

An Administrator can:

  1. see all screens in MNP
  2. invite people to the account
  3. make updates to the people at the account such as change their role or remove them from the account
  4. accept requests to transfer assets to their company
  5. initiate the transfer of assets to another company

People with the role of User can see all the screens on the home page, however the following links have been disabled:

  1. Manage Users
  2. Create Company
  3. Transfer Assets

A User will not see the Transfer Assets link in the View Licenses section.

The Administrator will define the screens a Reseller will see in MNP when they issue the invitation to join the company.  The term "reseller" doesn't necessarily mean this person has to be a reseller. The wider definition would be any person who needs access to a company to perform specific tasks and who does not participate in account management. Like a User, a Reseller cannot manage users, create companies or transfer assets.

Account Management screens

Edit Profile screen

There are three screens in MNP used to manage your account:

  1. Edit Profile
  2. Manage Users
  3. Create Company

Use Edit Profile to make edits to your HPE Passport account such as User ID (usually your email address), change your password or change preferences such as language.

The Change company information link is used to make updates to your company name and address within MNP.

In the Manage Users screen, an Administrator can add/edit/delete other administrators and users from the My Users tab.

Warning: Inviting a person with an existing MNP user account to be an admin at your company from this screen will remove them from their default account. Use Create company to add them to your company and keep them at their default account.

The My Resellers tab is used to add/edit/delete other people to the account. The reseller role can be used to restrict access to specific areas in MNP such as My Licenses or My Software.

All the companies you are associated with are listed in the My Accounts tab. Your default/primary account can be identified by the ">>" icon.  You can use this link to request changes to your access or to be removed from the account. NOTE: If you are the only Administrator at the company, you must add another administrator prior to being removed.

You can request access to another account by completing the Request access to manage other company account form found at the bottom of the My accounts tab.
