A Business Partner is a company that manages subscriptions and services on behalf of End Customer companies.
To become a Business Partner, your company must establish a partnership with a Rainbow distributor. This partnership enables you to subscribe to licenses for customer companies, register voice equipment, and provide various telephony features to members of those customer companies.
Rainbow implements a role-based access control model for cloud customers, allowing precise management of access rights and authorizations.
Note: This model is based on predefined rights profiles aligned with the functions available through the Rainbow cloud service.These profiles support compliance with key security principles such as:
-
The principle of least privilege, by granting users only the permissions necessary to perform their tasks.
-
The need-to-know principle, ensuring access is limited to relevant information and tools.
-
The separation of duties, maintaining a clear distinction between operational and oversight roles.
In addition to the roles available as an End Customer (a Business Partner is considered an End Customer for its own company), a member of a Business Partner company can have the following roles:
- Rainbow Finance: you can place an order with ALE to purchase Rainbow Premium subscriptions and retrieve invoices.
- Rainbow Operation: you provision the End Customers linked to the Business Partner and allocate the available licenses to the end users.
- Rainbow Customer analytics: you can consult analytical data for all customer companies.
Note: For more information about the End Customer roles, please read the article : End Customer Roles.
