There are 4 different areas of an Account:

  1. Company Profile: this area shows you the details about your customer including information about their NDA status
  2. Communication: this area shows displays any questionnaires that have been uploaded by the customer. You can download the questionnaire or access the link here.
  3. Access Management: invite users to view a private version of your Security Portal (with permissions to view all details and download all files) via email.
  4. Link Sharing: invite users to view a file directly within the Security Portal via email. This is similar to the standard flow, but they will just be taken directly to the card with the specified file.
