- To create a user, click Add.

- Click Save
Password: Enter any password you want. The customer uses the Forgot password process to reset the one you entered during initial setup.
View of the Add User Screen

Note: Whenever a new customer account is created on StreamOne Ion, a user will be immediately generated as the default setting.
Enable Customer Access to Storefront (End Customer Portal)
You decide whether your customers can self-serve report data, create and add accounts and subscriptions. Double-click the cloud vendor name to enable it. The Edit screen appears. Toggle the Enable provider in customer portal feature by using the slider. Save the changes. Repeat this for each cloud vendor you enable.
Note: When setting a pricebook for AWS, you see a custom setting Pass RI Optimization. This option should be avoided. Your customer receives the benefits of RI purchases made automatically by platform logic. This setting flows through benefits that the customer does not own.
