Catalog account and user management

Your PVCC company account

This section is accessible to admin users only.

You can access your company’s account from the main menu at the top - My company. The main navigation contains links to general information, the user management page, the invitations list, and API access information.

If your account is new with currently pending verification, the user management, invitations, and API sections might be locked. They will unlock once your account is verified and activated.

General account information

The general information panel is the first you will see when entering the company management section. Your address, VAT ID, and registration credentials are provided here.

Additionally, you will see your account activation status.

Contributor status

In case your company is contributing to the catalog by providing the published components information, additional verification process might be performed to verify the authenticity of your company. The contributor status is then used when determining the confidence class of the components being reviewed.

Once your company is activated you will not be able to change the company information such as company name, address and others.

User management

The Users section provides you with tools to invite and manage users under your company account.

1. All company users are listed here, stating their name and email address.

2. You can search the users by name and email or filter them based on activation status.

3. Use this button to invite a new user. Next, you will be prompted to choose the user’s role and email address. The new user will then receive an invitation to join your company.

4. You can change the user’s role by clicking the role in the list and selecting the new one. The role will change once the users logs in again.

5. Activate or deactivate the user by clicking on the user status.

Deactivated users will not be able to log in to the catalog.

Available user roles

Adding colleagues to your company account

You can invite new colleagues to your company account. The invited colleague will receive an email invitation with a link to join your company account. This process consists of two steps:

• Inviting a colleague (by company administrator).

• Accepting the invitation and filling out the registration form (invitee).

Inviting a colleague

To invite a colleague, navigate to My Company section. From the left side menu, select Users. You will see an invite button above the list of users. After invoking the invite, enter the following:

• The email address of your colleague.

• The role you want your colleague to obtain after accepting the invitation.

• The invitations expire after seven days if not accepted.

• Only admin users can invite new users to the company account.

Accepting the invitation

The invited colleague receives an email with the invitation link.

After clicking the link, the registration form with a prefilled email address will pop up. Invited user will follow the registration steps and can log in to the company account afterward.

The user’s permissions will reflect the role assigned to the user upon creating the invitation.

Invitations history

The invitations section lets you examine your company’s previous invitations and each user’s acceptance status. You can also initiate an invitation from here using the “+ Invite” button.

Usage

The Usage section provides information about your account and API calls usage. If you reach a limit in any of the allowances, you will be notified in the notification bar.

You can view daily, monthly, and all-time usage. The daily usage is further enhanced with the progress bar to indicate how many actions you have left to use today.
