Who’s the Order for?
· It’s important to first identify who the order is for. Here’s how you can select the right option:
· If you are a partner that ordered Webex for a customer, then select `This order is for a customer’
· If you are a partner that ordered Webex for your own company, select “This order is for my company”*
· If you are a customer that ordered Webex (e.g., from a partner), select `This order is for my company”

Option 1: This order is for a customer
· If you are not the right person to provision this order, you can provide your colleague’s email. They will then receive the same provisioning email.
· If you used a mailer alias as the provisioning contact, it’s best to provide a real user email at this time. Provide the user’s email in `colleague’s email address’ field.
· If you want the customer to provision this order, you can do so by selecting `my customer will provision this order’. But you will not gain access to their Control Hub once provisioning is complete.

15

Identifying the right Organization
· Whether you are looking up a partner org or a customer org for this order, organization finder uses the email of the contact to identify potential matches.
· There are 3 potential results from any org search: 1. Email exists in a Control Hub org, or that domain
(e.g., @acme.com) is claimed by one org (see right) 2. Email does not exist, but the domain matches that of users in existing orgs 3. No matches. Create a new org

16

Identifying the right Organization ­ Result 1
· When the email exists in an organization or the domain has been claimed (such that users must only exist in that one org), then this screen (see right) will appear.
· In this scenario, the option to create a new org is not available.
· Review the details of the org and proceed.

17

Identifying the right Organization ­ Result 2
· When the user doesn’t exist yet in Control Hub, but their domain (e.g., @acme.com) matches that of other users in Control Hub, then those orgs will appear (see right).
· Review the details of each org, but take particular notice of the org that you already manage and/or is suggested to you.
· In this scenario, the option to create a new org is available, in case none of these orgs are appear to be the desired org.

18

Review and submit ­ “this order is for my customer”
· This screen shows the order being mapped to this partner and customer org. The partner now gains access to manage this customer org.
· The ‘provisioning administrator’ text shows when the partner is mapping the order to an existing customer org. The partner can provision the order as usual, but to further manage the customer (e.g., license users), the customer will need to elevate their privileges in Control Hub. (help doc)
· If you already manage this customer or you are creating this customer org, then this page will mention `full administrator’, and not `provisioning administrator’.
