And Click Next

Step 7: On the Add Users to Virtual Accounts dashboard

• Select Scope of access:
  • Entire Smart Account: User has access to the entire Smart Account
  • OR Selected Virtual Accounts.

• User role:
  • If Scope of access is Entire Smart Account, select User Role from the drop-down menu.

Caution: The users can't be assigned to the Approver role, because the mail address in their Cisco.com profile doesn't match the domain for the Smart Account. If you continue, they will not be assigned to the account.
