Managing Tenants and MSPs

The MSP Portal allows Managed Service Providers (MSP) to manage customer portals (tenants). From the Manage Tenants page, you can create new tenants and set their license package, as well as license add-ons. For Top-level MSP, it is also possible to add child-MSP tenants (sub-tenant) that allows smaller service providers to manage their customers.

  • The Paying Customers widget shows the number of tenants and users that have a valid license.
  • The POCs widget shows the number of ongoing (along with the number of users) and expired POCs.
  • The Tenant Issues widget shows the number of warnings and errors related to the tenant.

Tenants in the Australian and Indian Region

The tenants (customer portals) added to the Australian and Indian regions look different from those added to other regions.

Note -  These regions are relevant only for tenants created using the Avanan MSP Portal.

By default, the tenants (customer portals) added to the Australian and Indian region have these changes:

  1. The Check Point logo will be presented in the top left corner.
  2. Notifications and web pages will have the Check Point logo.
  3. Notification's default text and name of some configuration items show the company name as Check Point instead of Avanan.
