Tracking Credit History
The *Credit History* section allows you to view all credit transactions:

- Monitor recent credit additions to customer sites.
Managing Administrators
In the *Admin* section, you can invite employees to access the Partner Portal:
- Choose the administrator level.
- Enter the employee’s email address.
- Click *OK* to send an invitation.
Note: End customers should not be added to the Partner Portal. Only VARs should manage site creation and credit distribution.
Understanding Ami Roles and Permissions
The Partner Portal has four levels of permissions:
- Observer - Can view site information but cannot make any changes.
- Operator - Can set up new sites and assign credits but cannot modify administrator privileges or invite new administrators.
- Administrator - Can invite and manage other administrators but cannot remove Master-level users.
- Master - Has full control over the portal, including user management, site creation, and credit distribution. Only a Master can activate a Partner Portal account initially.
Note: A Master account must be set up and activated before other users (Administrators, Operators, or Observers) can access the portal.
Common Issues & Considerations
- The Partner Portal is for VARs only and not for site administrators or end users.
- If you do not receive the email invitation, check your spam folder or contact your Partner Portal administrator.
- Ensure the email used for registration is correct, as it cannot be changed later.
