Setting up an access

Create, open, or modify a user access before setting it up. An access window must be open.

 

To set up a user access, you first identify it, and then if necessary, you define time periods during which the user access is assigned to one or more charges relating to subscriptions or provider contracts. You perform the operation in two halves of this window.

Note: The fields User Service Identifier and Service Identifier are unavailable (dimmed) when modifying a user access.

Top half of the access window

Fill in or modify the fields below.

User Service Identifier: Type the identifier of the customer who will use the service. For example, a technical ID such as an MSISDN number or an IP address.

Service Identifier: Type the code of the service consumed by the user. For example, Telecommunications or Internet services.

Bottom half of the access window

Fill in or modify the table to define time periods.

: Click to add a new row to the table.

: Click to delete a row from the table.

A user access can be assigned to one or more charges relating to subscriptions or provider contracts during a time period delimited by a start date and an end date. The start date is mandatory except for the first time period. The end date is mandatory except for the last time period.

Notes: You can:

  • Leave the table empty. This means that the user access is assigned to no charge. This option allows you to create user accesses for later use.

  • Add only a row to the table, and then select a subscription or a provider contract  and a charge without selecting a time period. This option means that the user access is assigned to a charge for an unlimited time period.  

Start Date: Click to select the beginning of the time period during which the user access is assigned to the charge.

End Date: Click to select the end of the time period during which the user access is assigned to the charge.

Subscription: Click to choose a subscription to which you want to assign the user access. After you select the subscription, click to view it if necessary.

Provider Contract: Click to choose a provider contract to which you want to assign the user access. After you select the provider contract, click to view it if necessary.

Note: It is not possible to choose both a subscription and a provider contract for the same period.

Charge: Once you have selected the subscription or the provider contract, click to display the charges relating to it, and then click the master charge to which you want to assign the user access.
