Overview
The SMX Portal is a management portal that is accessed via standard web browsers and includes an AJAX API to improve integration. It works in conjunction with the applications that SMX offers and provides the management and reporting functionality to administrative users.
This guide contains important information on how to use the SMX Portal for administrators. It also describes the access controls available for individual user roles and their function within the portal.
As the SMX Portal is used to manage business applications, any misconfiguration or misuse can result in unexpected behavior of a customer’s service, or in the worst-case scenario cause a complete outage for users of that service. As such, caution should always be exercised when making changes to customer accounts or settings via the portal. A thorough understanding of this guide will give the reader the confidence to perform all administrative functions required in the SMX Portal. If unsure, please consult this guide or contact your Distributor.
