    Introduction

    This document outlines the steps on modifying a user’s access levels in a Virtual Account to control permissions and roles.

    Prerequisites

    Before you start, ensure that you have:

    • Active Cisco.com account
    • Access to a active Smart Account with either Smart account administrator or Virtual Account administrator role
    note-icon

    Note: Please DO NOT perform these actions yourself if you are an internal Cisco resource outside of the Licensing Support team.

    Steps

    Step 1: Go to Cisco Software Central and log in with your cisco.com credentials

    Step 2: Select the Smart Account from the Smart Account Selector at the top right corner

    Step 3: Go to Manage Smart Account and click on Manage Account

    Step 4: Go to Users tab

    Step 5: Click on the User whose access needs to be modified

    Step 6: Click on Assign Account Access

    Step 7: Choose 'Selected Virtual Accounts' radio button

    Step 8: Choose desired User role for the user from the 'User Role' drop down and click 'Ok'

    Step 9: From the displayed wizard select the Virtual Accounts on the left-hand side for which the selected access role for the user needs to be enabled

    Step 10: Make a selection based on access need of the user and click either:

    • Assign Account Only' in case the access is required for the selected virtual account
    • Assign Account and Children' in case the access is required for both parent and associated children account(s)
    note-icon

    Note: "Unassign Selected" & "Unassign All" can be used to undo the selection of virtual accounts on the wizard

    Step 11: Once all is set on the wizard per requirement commit the changes by clicking Ok

    Troubleshooting

    1. I cannot edit access of a user. Please check your User privileges, ONLY Smart Account admin/Virtual Account admin have the access modification privileges.
