Understanding the dashboard
When you log in to CloudPortal Business Manager, the landing page is the dashboard. The dashboard gives you an at-a-glance view of your account. The dashboard provides a summary view which varies depending on which user is logged in. Links are provided to allow you to navigate to the pages to view more information or take necessary action.
Who can use the Dashboard
Every user, no matter their role, has a dashboard.
- The Master user can see information on service health, spend, spend vs budget, active users and active subscriptions, the billing information, notifications, service tickets, and so on.
- A normal user can see information on service health, active subscriptions (of that user only), spend, notifications, and tickets.
