2. FAQ - All about the Portal Manager

  • 2.1 Who will approve my request for user registration (process for getting User ID for Daimler Truck Supplier Portal)?

    Your organization's Portal Manager will grant approval to users. For every supplier code, there is at least one designated "Portal Manager" defined within your organization.

  • 2.2 How can I identify my Portal Manager?

    When finishing your registration process, available Portal Managers from your company will be displayed.

    Before that you're not able to identify your Portal Manager.
    But the Daimler Truck Key Account in your company can find out who is your Portal Manager.

  • 2.3 What can I do if there is no Portal Manager available for my company (e.g. has left the company)?

    Every user of the Daimler Truck Supplier Portal from your company can initiate a Portal Manager for his company in the SDB Truck application.

    To do this, add a contact in the "Contact data" tab in SDB Truck who should also be the Portal Manager and afterwards reach out to our support .

    For more details see Portal Manager

  • 2.4 How do I get the rights of a Portal Manager?

    In the course of registration
     During the initial registration for the Supplier Portal, a Portal Manager is appointed. As a rule, this is the person who performs the initial registration for the supplier.

    In the Supplier Portal
     Another way to become a Portal Manager is to apply for this role in the Supplier Portal. Simply click on your profile and then click on "Apply as Portal Manager". Your Portal Manager can then approve this application.

    By Appointment
     As a Portal Manager, you can also appoint a user to be another Portal Manager. To do this, click on your profile and open the "Portal Manager Tool" (GEMS / Alice). The tool will open in a new tab. On the "Users" tab, you can search for and select a user.

    For more details see Portal Manager

     

  • 2.5 How does a Portal Manager manage users?

    Portal Managers can use the Portal Manager tool, also called Alice to approve all the request of the users, change roles or add users.

    For more details see Portal Manager

     

  • 2.6 Can multiple Supplier Codes be managed by ONE User-ID?

    No. Please do not assign more than one supplier code to one User-ID!

    Since our applications do not support this and may lead to error messages.

    Therefore, please note: ONE User-ID = ONE Supplier Code

    We check whether this function (so-called MLA, Multi-Location-Authorization) can be implemented in the future.

  • 2.7 Where can I find the Portal Manager terms of use, which have to be accepted by Portal Managers?

    You will have to accept the Portal Manager terms of use as soon you login with Portal-Manager rights.

    You can access and print these Terms of Use again later in the Portal Manager Tool (Alice).

    If you do not wish to agree to the Terms of Use, you can continue to use the Portal as a regular user without Portal Manager rights.
