Once your Syskit Point subscription is all set, you might want some help managing it.
Subscription Administrators can be invited to join the subscriptions portal. They can manage subscriptions and find information about licensing plans and payments.
To add users as your Syskit Point subscription administrators, complete these steps:
In the subscriptions portal, go to the Users section (1)
The Users section contains the following information:
Name (2) of the user with subscription administrator rights
E-mail (3) of the user with subscription administrator rights
Role (4) the role of the user with subscription administrator rights; this can currently only be set as administrator, but other options are being explored for the future
Status (5) of the user with subscription administrator rights
For each user, you can complete the following action:
Edit (6) - clicking this lets you edit the user's name
Remove (7) - clicking this opens a pop-up where you are asked to confirm and Remove Access from the selected user
To add a new user as a subscriptions administrator, click the Invite User (8) button
Clicking the Invite User button opens the Invite User pop-up. There, you can:
Select user role (1) - at the moment, only the administrator role is available
Enter the e-mail (2) of the user you want to add as an admin
Click Invite User (3) to send the request
Once the invitation is sent, the user gets an e-mail invitation to become a Subscription admin.
If the user is already stored in the database, they will not receive an e-mail.
The user needs to click the Accept Invite (1) button to join the subscriptions portal.
The user needs to fill out the form that pops up.
Their e-mail is automatically filled out, but the user needs to specify their display name and set up their password for the subscriptions portal.
After filling out and submitting the requested details, the Subscriptions Portal opens, where the user can manage the Syskit Point subscription.
There are two potential reasons why you may need to reconnect your tenant after purchasing your Syskit Point subscription:
Your trial has expired, and 21 days after the trial expiration, your Syskit Point instance is deleted. If you purchased your Syskit Point subscription more than 21 days after the trial expiration, you will need to reconnect your tenant.
Your Syskit Point license has expired, and 30 days after the expiration date, your Syskit Point instance is deleted. When you purchase a Syskit Point subscription again, you will need to reconnect your tenant.
In case your Syskit Point is licensed, but your instance was deleted, you will see a message notifying you of that, as shown below.
To reconnect your tenant click the Connect Tenant button (1).
For more details about connecting your tenant to Syskit Point, take a look at this article.
By purchasing your subscription, you receive one year of Audit Logs storage as stated in the Purchased Plan section (1).
For more information about audit logs, you can click the Audit Logs Retention link (2).
If you want to purchase additional storage years for Audit Logs, click the Contact Us link (3) to e-mail our Sales team directly, or fill out the form on our Contact page.
Please note! If you request the removal of additional retention years that you previously purchased, the change will be applied after 3 days.
This serves as a safety measure, as once the change is final, all audit logs that exceed your currently purchased retention period will be erased.
