Support Portal

Issue/Introduction

As a User Administrator on the Broadcom support portal, you need to manage user permissions for accessing folders on the Licensing page. This includes adding, updating, and removing or revoking user access to a folder.

Important: Before proceeding to adding a user, make sure the user has access to the Site ID in which the folder/license key is residing. If the user does not have an account in the Broadcom software portal, have the user refer to Register for an account on the Broadcom Support Portal and Communities

Resolution

Once you become a user administrator, please follow the steps to manage permissions for a user.

Any User Administrator on the Broadcom Support Portal can grant access to all Folder within a Site ID, while an Enterprise User with the elevated permissions to "Manage Folder" can add Users on Folder Level only. Please follow the following steps to manage permissions for a user.

  1. Log in to Broadcom support portal
  2. In the left menu, select My Entitlements
  3. Go to Company name/Site ID, Product name, and under Licenses, click the appropriate license icon.
